On August 6, 2023, Haryana's Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala inaugurated the Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) built at a cost of Rs 6 crore 20 lakh in the industrial area of Sirsa district of the state.

Key Points:

• There are 171 plots in this industrial area of district Sirsa, in which about 115 units are working. It will be very beneficial for them.
• It is known that the Sirsa Industrial Area had been demanding for a long time to set up a CETP plant to treat industrial waste. Due to this waste, earlier the water level used to rise from 350 to 400 BOD, which has now come down to 10. Farmers can also use this water in their agriculture.
• Installation of CETP will not only help in environmental protection but also get rid of dirt and bad smell. After treatment, this water will be used for irrigation and the green belt of industry. Industries will also benefit from the construction of this type of plant.
