Overview
- Haryana environment minister Rao Narbir Singh chaired a meeting Thursday with HSPCB officers from Gurugram, Rewari, Nuh and Mahendragarh to review pollution control progress.
- He directed the Haryana State Pollution Control Board to submit weekly reports on inspections, enforcement and compliance so municipal corporations and the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority can be instructed to act.
- The minister ordered an increase in HSPCB staff in NCR districts to strengthen identification of pollution sources and carry out more regular on‑site inspections.
- Official priorities include tighter oversight of construction sites, ready‑mix concrete plants, road cleaning operations, sewage treatment plants and bulk waste generators along with expanded sample collection and testing.
- The push is a pre‑emptive effort to make pollution controls visible and accountable before Graded Response Action Plan triggers and to close recurring gaps in coordination between state boards, municipal bodies and the GMDA.
