To check the pollution level in the Buddha Nullah and its causes, a team of the Municipal Corporation (MC) along with officials of Punjab Biotechnology Incubator, SAS Nagar, collected 11 samples of sewage water/effluent from different locations in the city.
MC Superintending Engineer Ravinder Garg said the team of Punjab Biotechnology Incubator took samples of ‘treated’ sewage/effluent from outlets of two units of sewerage treatment plant at Bhattian, three common effluent treatment plants, various dyeing units and electroplating units.
