The enforcement of Laws and ...

The enforcement of Laws and Regulations fails miserably when there is multiplicity of Authorities responsible at State level and also at Centre Govt level. Rhetoric does not improve the situation sustainably unless basic management structure is right. For accountability, there has to be clear cut responsibility without an overlap and at least for River Water Systems, we need to have a singular Govt Organ responsible to PLAN, DIRECT, SUPERVISE IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAN with PMC also checking the Plan from all technical angles and strict D&B with O&M or if DBFOT can be attempted, it can do sustainable development of water bodies connected to the River System, ensure that Pollutants are not dumped in to the River System and the u/g aquifers connected to the River System. Even for Peak Rainfall, we need to have Garland Sewers along River Banks where Habitats are quite close by. We need to disallow flooding of Rivers and store surface waters for release during lean season to augment flows.

Other supportive actionable programs like No Habitat or Industrial activity with in a certain range crow distance from Banks of River System, Only Organic Farming in areas earmarked around the catchment of River Systems, Solid Waste Management, etc. should be under Centre State joint schemes.

The engineering, tendering, contracting and implementation of public works under the State Govt. depts. or Organs is by and large,  pathetic and highly corrupt .So, Centre Govt must not leave Funding of even the supportive works to state alone.
