(a) As per information made available by the State Government of Madhya Pradesh, five sewage projects comprising  six  Sewage  Treatment  Plants  (STPs)  with  a  total  capacity  of  23.85  MLD  under  various Government schemes like SBM 2.0 etc. are at various stages of implementation in major towns under the Shahdol Lok Sabha Constituency, including Shahdol, Anuppur, Kotma and Manpur.

Under AMRUT in ShahdolLok Sabha Constituency for Katni city 02 sewerage/septage management projects worth Rs. 121.5 crore have been approved.

Under Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0, the proposal of the State  for  one  sewerage/septage  management  project  worth  ₹38.5  crore  in  Murwara  (Katni  City)  and  27 water body rejuvenation projects worth ₹21.33 in Shahdol Lok Sabha Constituency have been approved. The details of the projects are enclosed as Annexure .

(b) & (c) Cleaning of rivers is an ongoing process. This Ministry along with other Union Ministries and associated  agencies  supplements  the  efforts  of  State  Governments  in  river  conservation  and  pollution abatement activities.

CPCB identifies polluted  river  stretches  in  the  rivers  across  the  country  in  association  with  State Pollution Control Boards (SPCB) and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) under National Water Quality Monitoring  Programme.  Central  Pollution  Control  Board/State  Pollution  Control  Board  (CPCB/SPCB)

monitors river water quality to ensure compliance of the provisions of the Environment Protection Act, 1986 and Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

To reduce the environmental pollution, including, water pollution and the land degradation, caused by coal mining activities, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has notified the  Environment  Impact  Assessment  (EIA)  Notification,  2006  under  the  Environment  (Protection)  Act, 1986, which deals with the process of granting Environmental Clearance (EC) after having comprehensive analysis of EIA reports prepared by the coal companies. The coal mining projects are required to obtain the prior Environment Clearance under the EIA, Notification 2006.

Environmental standards have been prescribed for the coal mines. The respective SPCBs/PCCs issue the Consent to Operate under the provisions of Air (Prevention and Control of Air Pollution) Act, 1981 and Water  (Prevention  and  Control  of  Pollution)  Act,  1974  to  oversee  the  compliance  of  emissions/effluent standards and take action against violators under the provision of said Water and Air Acts.

The State prepares the action plan for rejuvenation of polluted river stretches in compliance with the directions of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). These action plans are monitored periodically by the State River Rejuvenation Committee (SRRC) and Central Monitoring Committee (CMC).
