Nov 17, 2025 10:26 pm CST
The Supreme Court has severely criticized Rajasthan authorities for their failure to control pollution in the Jojari River, affecting two million people across hundreds of villages. Industrial waste, primarily from textile factories, has rendered drinking water unsafe for humans and animals. Despite orders from the National Green Tribunal in 2022, common effluent treatment plants are being bypassed, with pollutants discharged directly into the river. The court is scheduled to issue an order on November 21 regarding this environmental crisis.
