NGT Closes Case on Satpula Lake Sewage

NGT Closes Case on Satpula Lake Sewage

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has closed a case about dirty water being put into Satpula Lake in Delhi.

The NGT started this case after reading a news report that said the lake was getting raw sewage from a big drain.

They found out that the lake was very polluted and the machine that cleans the water (called an STP) was not working.

The NGT told the people in charge (DDA) to fix the machine.

Later, they checked again and found that the water is now clean and the machine is working.

The NGT said the DDA must keep the water clean and check it every month.

They also said the DDA must send reports about the water quality to the NGT every 8 months to make sure everything stays clean.
