Sonepat, March 15

Minister of State for Mines and Geology Nayab Singh Saini has asked the district administration to direct industrialists for setting up water treatment plants in their units.

“It is required to save the sub-soil water from getting polluted due to release of chemically contaminated water by the units,” said the minister.

The minister was listening to public complaints while presiding over the monthly meeting of the District Public Relations and Grievances Committee here yesterday.

The directions were given when Sonepat SDM Nishant Yadav informed the minister that out of 20 samples taken from fields located in non-industrial area of Liwaspur village, 12 samples failed the test.

The minister also asked the officers to ensure that the complaints were entertained at their level without any inconvenience to the complainants. As many as 15 complaints were taken up in the meeting.

State BJP state media head Rajiv Jain, district president Dr Dharambir Nandal and Municipal Corporation chairperson Meena Narwal were also present in the meeting.
