MULTI PRONGED STRATEGY AIMS AT CLEANING THE WATER OF BUDDAH NULLAH

Chandigarh, September 20: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Friday announced to embark on a three phase multi pronged program to clean the Buddah nullah in Ludhiana on mission mode.

Chairing a meeting here with the world renowned Nebula group, the Chief Minister lauded the group for its expertise in dealing with the problem of water pollution. He said that the current campaign will be started in collaboration with the Nebula group and will aim at cleaning Buddha Nallah in Ludhiana to remove impurities that cause cancer, with Nebula Ozonation technology at the nano level. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the target will be to reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of water to below 100, making it fit for drinking.

The Chief Minister said that it is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that Nebula Ozone’s nano-level technology is a proven remedy to remove cancer-causing elements and impurities from water. He said that the three phase program to be launched by the state government is aimed at restoring water quality in the Buddah Nullah. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the team has already undertaken site visits along with officials of Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board, PPCB and other stakeholders.

During the meeting it was decided that the phase I of the project will involve installation of the ultrasonic water metering systems and the software modelling for the analysis of the sewage network to identify sampling points across Ludhiana. Likewise, it will also focus on identification and installation of various pre-treatment plants for the dying industry across Ludhiana. These 200 units discharge around 95 MLD into the CETPs adding that this move will help in checking the pollution.

Likewise, it was decided that Phase II will focus on identification of the problematic discharge points and installation of small-scale effluent treatment systems to improve sewage quality. In the third phase thrust will be laid on design and implementation of lining the Buddha Nallah. It was decided that Nebula Group and the state government will work together for implementation, maintenance and operation of the III phases and the operation of the treatment systems installed across Ludhiana.
