The Gujarat High Court directed the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to file an affidavit on the steps taken to curb pollution in Sabarmati River, and the future plan to cut down the flow of untreated water into the river. The HC was hearing suo motu a PIL concerning pollution in the river.
The court permitted industrial units, which were sealed after it was found they were discharging effluent water in sewage treatment plants instead of common effluent treatment plants, to move an application before the AMC and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) with an action plan to remedy the situation.
