Over half, or 19, of Delhi's 37 sewage treatment plants (STPs) do not meet the standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), according to the latest data shared by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC).
The report, dated November 5, is part of the monthly assessment report for October, and reveals that a large chunk of STPs are yet to meet the prescribed norms set for parameters, such as faecal coliform, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS), among others.
"Nineteen STPs are not complying with prescribed standards while 18 are," said the report.
DPCC collects and analyses samples from STPs once every month. The Delhi government did not comment on the report.
