During the inspection, Pawan Kalyan reviewed the worsening pollution levels in the river and expressed concern over the discharge of nearly 55 million liters of untreated sewage and industrial effluents into the water body every day. He instructed officials to carry out a complete audit of all pollution sources affecting the river and ordered the preparation of a comprehensive six-month action plan aimed at eliminating contamination before the festival begins.
The Deputy Chief Minister also called for the formation of a dedicated task force to monitor river conservation efforts and ensure strict implementation of pollution-control measures. He stressed the need for immediate administrative coordination to prevent environmental damage during the upcoming religious event, which is expected to witness a massive influx of pilgrims from across the country.
