Leopard found dead in dumping yard in Telangana

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: A leopard was found dead in Telangana’s Nalgonda district on Wednesday.
Locals found the carcass of the leopard in a dumping yard near Chandanapally and alerted the police, which in turn informed the Forest Department.
The animal was found dead in the bushes in a corner of the dumping yard. Forest officials shifted the carcass for a post-mortem examination. The cause of the leopard’s death will be known after the receipt of the post-mortem report, an official said.
It is suspected that the leopard died after consuming poisonous food kept by some farmers in the area to kill the wild boars damaging agricultural crops. About 20 wild boars had died after eating the food laced with poison and the leopard is also suspected to have consumed the same food.
A few days ago, residents of some areas including Chandanapally had complained to the authorities about a leopard moving in the area. They alleged that no attempt was made to catch the animal.
The leopard is suspected to have died about 10 days ago.

NGT directs Chennai Corporation to work against dumping of sewage

[ad_1]
Chennai: The National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) Southern Bench has directed the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), Chennai Metrowater authority and other local bodies to take stringent action against dumping of sewage in open water sources.
The NGT directed these bodies to stick to the guidelines framed by the Tribunal for sewage treatment plants in Chennai on removal of septage from unsewered areas. It also directed the local bodies to regulate the movement of sewage tankers under local body limits.
The guidelines of the NGT were framed by Judicial member, Justice Pushpa Satyanarayanan and expert member, Dr Sathyagopal Korlapati under the Municipal corporation, Municipalities and the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewage Act of 1978 along with the GO of January 2, 2023.
The issue of private tankers dumping sewage into open water sources comes under the purview of the guidelines formulated by the NGT. In its study, it also looked into whether the infrastructural development matched with the expansion of the city.
Talking to IANS social activist R. Ashok Kumar said: “NGT is doing a great job in curtailing the menace of trucks dumping sewage in water bodies and untreated sewage being dumped by companies into water bodies. However it has to be seen whether the Greater Chennai Corporation and other local bodies conduct stringent monitoring. Ultimately at the execution level, it is the local bodies which have to act.”
The NGT had earlier constituted a joint committee comprising of District Collector, TNPCB Chairman, PWD’s Superintending engineer and a GCC official to look into possibilities of tracking vehicles licensed to transport sewage.

The order has been issued with sole objective of making Doda garbage free.
The order reads that District Magistrate, Doda, by virtue of powers vested under Section 133 Cr.PC, do hereby order all the residents of the District to remove garbage/avoid dumping of garbage on any Public places viz streets, roads, roadsides, open grounds, nallahs, river/riverside or any other place covered under the definition of public place and ensure to dump the garbage only at places specified by the concerned Municipal bodies or Block Sanitation Officers/ Panchayts or handover the garbage to the door to door collectors only.

It is to mention here that, dumped garbage is a breeding place for mosquitoes and many other disease carrying vectors which is a cause of great concern as they may spread many communicable and non- communicable diseases.
Dumping of garbage alongside of the roads and in the drains result in blockage of the drainage system causing nuisance and hindrance to the smooth movement of the Public.
