Dumping of Baijnath waste in Binwa river a worry.

February 10, 2023

The large-scale dumping of garbage by Baijnath Municipal Council in Binwa, a tributary of the Beas, has become a cause for concern for the health authorities.
The river is a major source of drinking water in the lower areas of Baijnath. The Jal Shakti Department lifts its water for half a dozen drinking water supply schemes feeding 50 villages.
The civic body threw waste in the river as there was no place for garbage dumping in the townas per Executive Officer, Baijnath MC
A new piece of land for the garbage dumping site is being identified since the existing one is embroiled in dispute and the final decision of the High Court on it can take time. Salem Aazam, SDM, Baijnath
