{{/usCountry}}Addressing environmental concerns, Saini said a comprehensive plan has been prepared to stop the flow of untreated industrial wastewater into the Masani Barrage. Sewage treatment plants (STPs) will be set up to treat the water before it enters the barrage, making it fit for agricultural use.
Saini claimed that since 2014, projects worth ₹1,916 crore have been implemented in the Rewari Assembly segment. Of the 69 announcements made over the past decade, 61 have been completed and work is ongoing on four others.
Union minister of state Rao Inderjit Singh, who was also present, raised concerns about industrial wastewater from Rajasthan affecting the Masani Barrage and local groundwater. He urged a robust action plan to address the issue and criticised Rajasthan BJP MLA Baba Balaknath for allegedly diverting polluted water into Haryana, which led to fish deaths.
Inderjit also took a swipe at former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, accusing him of ignoring the Kosli region during his tenure. “Ahirwal was ignored twice. I hope this region is not overlooked again,” he said.
He added that with Gurugram nearing saturation, Rewari is poised to become Haryana’s next hub for business activities over the next decade.
