Chandigarh, Oct 16 (IANS) Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi on Thursday emphasised inter-departmental efforts with a focus on stringent pollution control and a sustained drive for ecological balance of the Yamuna river ahead of the Chhath Puja festival.

Chairing a review with an aim for proactive measures for the thousands of devotees who will perform rituals along the river and its tributaries, he emphasised the importance of round-the-clock monitoring of sewage treatment plants (STPs) and common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) across the river catchment.

He directed all Executive Engineers to personally oversee the functioning of these plants up to October 28, ensuring that no breakdown occurs and that all systems operate within prescribed environmental standards.
