Haryana launches State Environment Plan 202526 to combat pollution and promote sustainability
CHANDIGARH In an effort to combat pollution and reduce carbon emissions, the Haryana Government plans to establish 13 Integrated Solid Waste Management Plants across the state for effective waste disposal. Additionally, e-waste collection centers will be set up in every district to ensure proper disposal of electronic waste. As part of the Clean Air Project, the government also aims to procure 500 electric buses for Gurugram, Faridabad, and Sonipat. Furthermore, 18 additional air quality monitoring stations will be established. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday launched the State Environment Plan 202526 and released the Non-CO Pathway Report 202526. The implementation of the plan will help improve air quality, lower pollution levels, and ensure a clean, healthy, and safe environment, he said while addressing the launch event held in Panchkula. Saini stated that Haryana has become the first state in the country to undertake such a comprehensive initiative for a clean environment. He noted that 5,600 tonnes of solid waste are generated daily in Haryanas cities. Currently, 77% of this waste is properly disposed of, while 23% remains unmanaged. To address this, a plan has been developed to establish 13 Integrated Solid Waste Management Plants across the state. Efforts are also underway to clean up legacy waste at dumping grounds50% of this waste has already been scientifically disposed of, and the remaining work is progressing rapidly. Saini highlighted that electronic waste poses a significant challenge. To address this, 42 e-waste recyclers are currently operating in the state. Moving forward, we plan to establish e-waste collection centers in every district, he said. He also pointed out that approximately 22 tonnes of biomedical waste are generated daily from around 7,000 hospitals in the state. This waste is fully disposed of through 11 common biomedical waste treatment facilities. Additionally, a common hazardous waste management site has been established in Pali, Faridabad, to handle industrial waste, he added. To combat air pollution, the state government has launched the Clean Air Project for Sustainable Development, with a budget of Rs 3,600 crore, in collaboration with the World Bank. As part of this initiative, 500 electric buses will be procured for Gurugram, Faridabad, and Sonipat. Subsidies will also be provided for electric autos, gas-powered generators, gas boilers, and advanced monitoring equipment to replace diesel generators, he said. The government has already initiated a plan to operate electric buses in urban areas. The procurement process for 375 electric buses for city bus services is ongoing. So far, 50 buses have been received, with 105 more expected soon. Additionally, over 370 EV charging stations have been installed across the state to support electric vehicles. Saini acknowledged that stubble burning has been a major contributor to air pollution. To address this, farmers have been educated and equipped with over 100,000 stubble management machines. As a result, incidents of stubble burning have decreased by 90% since 2016. To reduce industrial pollution, the use of clean fuels such as CNG and PNG is being actively promoted. Air quality is currently monitored through 29 automatic and 46 manual air quality monitoring stations, with plans to establish 18 more in the near future. In addition, concrete steps have been taken to prevent water pollution. Awareness campaigns are ongoing, and efforts are being made to clean polluted water and make it reusable, he stated. At present, Haryana has a sewage treatment capacity of 2,343 MLD, of which 74% is utilized. The government aims for 100% utilization by connecting all discharge points to the sewerage network. 201 sewage treatment plants are currently operational, and the treated water from these plants is being maximally reused. Water from the sewage treatment plants in Rewari and Dharuhera, along with rainwater, is collected in the Masani Barrage of Rewari. This water is treated and reused for agriculture and other purposes. Saini noted that 27 schemes have been developed to use treated sewage water for irrigation, 11 of which have already been completed. These initiatives will provide a sustainable water source for irrigation, reduce pressure on the canal system, and curb groundwater exploitation. We are developing Masani Barrage as a pilot project to replicate this model across the state, he said. The state government also aims to rejuvenate ponds across Haryana by 2026. Measures have been implemented to regulate mining activities and monitor noise pollution, ensuring that natural resource exploitation remains balanced and within legal frameworks.

Two-year-old leopard killed in a hit-and-run on Gurugram-Faridabad road
CHANDIGARH : A two-year-old female leopard was found dead on the Gurugram-Faridabad road, which cuts through the Aravalli mountain range, in what appears to be a hit-and-run incident. Sources said the animal, estimated to be between 2 to 2.5 years old, was discovered this morning, around one kilometre from the Pali police post on the Faridabad side. A local NGO alerted the forest and wildlife department, which swiftly responded, taking the leopard's body for post-mortem examination. According to an officer, Preliminary investigations suggest it was a hit-and-run case. The animal was bleeding heavily, and a head injury seems to be the cause of death, indicating a high-speed collision with a heavy vehicle. The post-mortem will confirm the exact cause of death. The high speeds at night on this road are certainly a concern. It is believed that around 50 leopards inhabit the Aravalli stretch in Gurugram, with sightings becoming more frequent. Past incidents have raised alarm, such as the death of a leopard in a road accident in 2019, and another female leopard in 2015. In addition, a 12-year-old male leopard was struck near Manesar. Environmentalists have long advocated for the creation of a wildlife corridor to ensure the safe passage of animals across the road. They have called for overpasses, underpasses, or elevated road sections to be built, allowing wildlife to move safely without encountering traffic. The Gurugram-Faridabad road runs alongside the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary to the north and the Aravallis to the south, both vital leopard habitats. Leopards frequently cross this road while moving between these areas, increasing the risk of accidents. Despite repeated assurances from the Haryana government over the last two decades, no permanent solution has been implemented.
Womens Safety Report : Fear runs deeper than nos
NEW DELHI: The NARI 2025 National Annual Report and Index on Womens Safety, released by the National Commission for Women, offers the telling reality of the urban safety landscape. The survey covered 12,770 women across 31 cities and yielded a national safety score of 65%, which implies that four in 10 women (40%) consider themselves unsafe despite government assurances. Around 60% of women reported feeling safe, while 40% admitted they felt not-so-safe or outright unsafe. The anxieties deepen among younger women: while public harassment was reported by 7% of all respondents in 2024, the figure rose to 14% for those under 24, indicating that students and young professionals are disproportionately targeted in educational and recreational spaces. The report shows low levels of faith in redressal mechanism. Only one in three victims of harassment filed a formal complaint, and confidence in the system is strikingly weak: 75% of women said they did not believe authorities would resolve their complaints. Even when incidents are reported, only 22% are formally registered, and action is taken in a mere 16% of those cases, highlighting a pervasive cycle of silence. Harassment hotspots reveal vulnerabilities, with 38% of cases occurring within neighbourhoods and 29% in public transport systems. Workplace safety presents a paradoxical picture. A large majority91%described their office environment as safe, but nearly half of the respondents admitted they were unaware whether their organisation had implemented the mandated Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) mechanism. Among those who were aware, most found it effective, suggesting that awareness is as critical as legislation itself. The report stresses that womens safety cannot be reduced to physical protection alone but must include psychological, financial, and digital security that collectively shape womens access to mobility, opportunity, and dignity. It frames safety as a developmental issue rather than a law-and-order question. The sense of safety also varies with time and place. Women reported relative comfort in offices and campuses during the day, but confidence collapsed after dark, where poor street lighting and unreliable public transport left them exposed. City-level disparities are equally stark: Kohima, Visakhapatnam, and Bhubaneswar topped the index, followed closely by Aizawl, Gangtok, Itanagar, and Mumbai, where women expressed relatively higher perceptions of safety. In contrast, Patna, Jaipur, Faridabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Srinagar, and Ranchi occupied the bottom ranks. Ranchi recorded 44% feeling unsafe, while in Delhi and Faridabad the figure was around 42%. The numbers show a fractured urban landscape where geography shapes womens fears as much as governance.
NEW DELHI: Kohima, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Aizawl, Gangtok, Itanagar and Mumbai have emerged as the safest cities in the country for women, while Patna, Jaipur, Faridabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Srinagar and Ranchi were ranked the lowest, according to the National Annual Report & Index on Women's Safety (NARI) 2025. The nationwide index released on Thursday, based on a survey of 12,770 women across 31 cities, placed the national safety score at 65 per cent, categorising cities as much above, above, at, elow or much below this benchmark. Kohima and other top-ranked cities were associated with stronger gender equity, civic participation, policing and women-friendly infrastructure. At the other end of the spectrum, cities like Patna and Jaipur fared poorly due to weak institutional responsiveness, patriarchal norms and gaps in urban infrastructure. Kohima, Vishakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Aizawl, Gangtok, Itanagar, Mumbai lead national safety rankings, often correlating with higher gender equity, infrastructure, policing, or civic participation while Ranchi, Srinagar, Kolkata, Delhi, Faridabad, Patna, and Jaipur scored lowest, correlating with poorer infrastructure, patriarchal norms, or weaker institutional responsiveness, the report said. Overall, six in ten women surveyed felt safe in their city, but 40 per cent still considered themselves ot so safe or unsafe. The study revealed sharp drops in perceptions of safety at night, particularly in public transport and recreational spaces. Educational institutions (86 per cent safe) especially in daylight, but safety perceptions fall sharply at night or off-campus. About 91 per cent of women reported safety, yet about half were unclear if their workplace had a POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) policy; those with such policies generally rated them as effective. Only one-fourth of women said they trusted authorities to act effectively on safety complaints. While 69 per cent said current safety efforts were somewhat adequate, over 30 per cent noted significant gaps or failures; only 65 per cent perceived real improvement over the years 2023-2024. Seven per cent of women said they experienced harassment in public spaces in 2024, with the figure doubling to 14 per cent among those under 24. Neighbourhoods (38 per cent) and public transport (29 per cent) were most often flagged as harassment hotspots. Yet, only one in three victims came forward to report the incidents. The report stressed that official crime data alone cannot reflect women's lived reality. Two out of three women do not report harassment, meaning NCRB misses the bulk of incidents, the study said, calling for integration of crime data with perception-based surveys like NARI. Launching the report, National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar said safety cannot be seen merely as a law-and-order issue but as one that affects every aspect of a woman's life whether it is her education, health, work opportunities and freedom of movement. She added that when women feel unsafe, hey limit themselves, and women limiting themselves is not only for their own development, but also for the development of the country. She emphasised that a safe environment was crucial for building a developed and inclusive India, pointing to four dimensions of women's security of physical, psychological, financial and digital nature. It is our responsibility to protect women not just from crimes on the streets but also from cybercrimes, economic discrimination and mental harassment, Rahatkar noted. Highlighting positive measures, she praised the growing presence of women police officers and female drivers in public transport as effective confidence-building steps. In many Union Territories, 33 per cent of police personnel are now women, and this has made a decisive difference in building trust, she said. She also lauded initiatives such as women's helplines, CCTV coverage in smart cities, and improved safety networks at railway stations and bus depots. At the same time, Rahatkar urged society at large to share responsibility. We often blame the system, but we must also ask what we have done. Whether it is using helplines, supporting awareness drives, or simply keeping public toilets clean, society's role is equally important, she said. The NARI index has been conceived by The NorthCap University and Jindal Global Law School and is published by the Group of Intellectuals and Academicians (GIA).

CHANDIGARH: Demanding the declaration of No-Go-Area zones for waste dumping, burning and landfills, over 100 geo-tagged locations across five districts of Haryana, Gurugram, Faridabad, Nuh, Rewari and Charkhi Dadri, have been highlighted in the second part of the State of the Haryana Aravallis: Citizens Report . The Aravalli mountain range, estimated to be over two billion years old, is under serious threat due to rampant violations, according to the report submitted by the People for Aravallis group to Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Neelam Ahluwalia, Founder Member of People for Aravallis, said the report underscores how illegal industrial waste burning continues in several villages despite a blanket ban imposed by the Nuh Deputy Commissioner in early May this year on open waste burning within the ecologically fragile Aravalli region. The report highlights how, in direct violation of the blanket ban imposed by Nuh Deputy Commissioner in early May this year on open waste burning within the ecologically fragile Aravalli region, alleged illegal industrial waste burning continues in Khori Khurd, Khori Kalan, Sonari, Gurnawat, Rangala, Naharpur, Sewka and other villages in Tauru, which is resulting in severe air, soil and groundwater pollution, she said. It also throws light on the pollution being caused in the eco-sensitive Aravalli region as a result of the infamous Bandhwari landfill and a landfill site near ITI Colony on the old Sohna-Alwar road, where mixed waste is being dumped daily. Regular fires at both landfill sites in the Gurugram Aravallis emit dangerous toxins, as organic waste, e-waste, plastic, chemicals and hazardous waste are all burnt together, adding to Delhi-NCRs and Haryanas air pollution, heat index and climate sensitivity, she claimed. She further said, The report also highlights how, over the last few years, hazardous solid waste from the Bandhwari landfill and other kinds of waste have been dumped in mining quarries and forest areas across many locations in the Gurugram and Faridabad Aravallis, contaminating the soil, surface and groundwater in NCRs lifeline for clean air, water recharge and wildlife habitat. The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) had tested samples of the solid waste from the Bandhwari landfill dumped in one of the Aravalli forest areas near the landfill and found a high concentration of pathogens and toxic metals. Dumped waste lying in 100-plus locations across five districts of the state where the Aravalli range runs, as mentioned in the report, must be removed from these eco-sensitive areas immediately and disposed of in a responsible manner. It is critical to establish a mechanism for strict monitoring and accountability, which is completely lacking at this point, in order to bring any positive change to the current extremely dismal health of the Aravallis, she said. Neelam added, We urge the government to constitute Aravalli Protection Task Force Committees in all the Aravalli districts, headed by the DC of each district under the supervision of the Chief Secretary. Strict accountability with severe consequences is a must to ensure that government officials do their job without neglect and in a proactive manner to safeguard the Aravallis, so that our cattle, wildlife and people in the Aravalli districts in Haryana can live with dignity, without gasping for breath, drinking toxic water and being sick. Dr Rajendra Singh, the globally renowned water conservationist, said, Aquifers lying beneath the Aravallis are interconnected and any disturbance or alterations in the pattern due to toxic landfills and waste dumping can significantly alter the purity of the groundwater table. Aravallis need to be declared as a No-Go area for waste dumping, burning, landfills and waste plants, as we cannot afford to pollute our green lungs, critical water recharge zones and wildlife habitats any further. Dr Shyamala Mani, Senior Waste Management Expert who works as Senior Advisor at the Centre for Chronic Disease Control and is a former professor at the National Institute of Urban Affairs, said, Sustainable waste management is the need of the hour. No fresh, mixed waste should go to the existing landfill sites in the Aravallis. Focus must be on decentralised waste management, source segregation and maximum resource recovery from waste, so that minimal waste goes to the landfills, which must be set up outside the eco-sensitive Aravalli region. The use of single-use plastic items must be banned in all the Aravalli districts. Earlier, a month ago, Part 1 of the Citizens Report, which focused on the worrying state of the Aravallis due to rampant mining, deforestation and illegal encroachments, was submitted.

Faridabad womans murder probe reveals father-in-law raped her before killing
FARIDABAD: The investigation into the case of a woman who was buried after her murder in Haryana's Faridabad has revealed that the victim was allegedly raped by her father-in-law before her murder, said police. The mother-in-law of the victim was also allegedly involved in the murder, and she has been arrested, police said, adding that police are now searching for the victim's husband Arun, who is still at large. The main accused, father-in-law Bhoop Singh, was taken on three days of police remand again by the crime unit. During interrogation, he allegedly revealed that the murder was pre-planned, an official said. The murder of 24-year-old Tannu was planned on April 15, and her husband and mother-in-law were also allegedly involved in the plan, a senior investigating officer said. During interrogation, Bhoop Singh allegedly revealed that as per the plan, the victim's mother-in-law was sent to attend her niece's wedding in Etah, Uttar Pradesh on April 15. On the night of April 21, Arun allegedly mixed sleeping pills in the food of his wife Tannu and sister Kajal, according to the police. Both of them fell into a deep sleep in their separate rooms on the ground and the first floor. A senior police officer said it was decided that the father-in-law alone would kill Tannu, and Arun went to the room on the ground floor. Bhoop Singh entered Tannu's room late night and was preparing to strangle her with a dupatta. But before killing his unconscious daughter-in-law, he allegedly raped her, the officer said, adding that he did not tell his son and wife about the rape. After some time, he called Arun upstairs to the room and both of them allegedly took the body and threw it in a pit that had already been dug in the street. They put bricks and soil on top of it. The people in the neighbourhood were told that the pit was meant for sewerage, added the officer. The pit was dug before Naib Tehsildar Jaswant Singh, and Tannu's body was exhumed. An FIR was registered against four of the in-laws' family -Bhoop Singh, his wife Sonia, son Arun Singh, and daughter Kajal - at Palla police station. Tannu was killed and buried in front of her house allegedly by her in-laws, who managed to keep the body hidden for almost two months by reporting her missing. The victim, a native of Shikohabad in the Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh, had married Arun Singh of Roshan Nagar area here two years ago.

54-year-old held for murdering daughter-in-law in Faridabad
NEW DELHI: A 54-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his daughter-in-law and burying her near their house in Faridabad. The in-laws filed a missing persons complaint and managed to hide the crime for two months, before the police found the body on Friday, police said. The woman, Tannu Rajput, got married to one Arun Singh of Roshan Nagar area of Faridabad in 2023. According to Tannus father, the police paid no heed to his complaint, even after he raised suspicions about the freshly covered pit, which he had seen while visiting his brother-in-law. On April 25, Arun filed a complaint stating that his wife had left home without informing anyone. Based on the complaint, a case was registered at the Palla police station, and an investigation was initiated. ACP Sarai Rajesh Kumar said the police grew suspicious of the in-laws involvement in the womans murder and burial on their property. On June 20, in the presence of a duty magistrate, the police excavated a pit in front of the house and recovered Tannus body.
Faridabad murder case: Father-in-law held after confessing to killing and burying woman outside home
FARIDABAD: Police here have arrested a 54-year-old man who confessed to killing his daughter-in-law and burying her body in front of his house two months ago, an officer said on Saturday. Bhoop Singh, a resident of Roshan Nagar, confessed to strangling his daughter-in-law Tannu Kumar and throwing her body in a pit he dug for the purpose in front of his house, the officer said. The motive behind the murder is yet to be revealed, even though the accused said he killed the woman because she caused a rift in the household. According to Bhoop Singh's testimony, as cited by police, the murder happened on the night of April 21, when the woman's husband, Arun Kumar, was away at work, and Bhoop Singh's wife at a wedding in Uttar Pradesh, leaving only Bhoop Singh, his daughter Kajal, and Tannu in the house. His daughter had gone to sleep in her room on the ground floor after having dinner and Tannu had also gone to sleep on the first floor. In the night, the accused went to Tannu's room and strangled her with her dupatta. He then dumped the body in a pit in front of the house and covered it with soil. In the morning, he called a mason and got the pit cemented, a spokesperson of Faridabad police said. Bhoop Singh was produced in a city court today and was taken into police custody for two days. We are verifying the roles of other family members. The motive appears to be dowry-related, but further probe is underway, Sarai Assistant Commissioner of Police Rajesh Kumar said. Tannu Kumar, a native of Shikohabad in Firozabad district in Uttar Pradesh, had married Arun Singh of Roshan Nagar area here two years ago. Her body was exhumed Friday morning before Naib Tehsildar Jaswant Singh. Her father, Hakim, alleged that police refused to listen to his complaint even after he raised suspicion about the freshly covered pit, which he witnessed when he visited his brother-in-law's house. Hakim alleged that his daughter was harassed by her in-laws over dowry, to the extent, she had to stay at her paternal home for a year after marriage. She returned to Faridabad after the intervention of a panchayat, but the matter was far from being resolved. Earlier, her in-laws reported Tannu as missing and also told police she was mentally challenged. Hakim said that after he was informed about her daughter going missing, he visited Bhoop Singh's house with his other daughter, Preeti, and knew something was amiss when he saw the freshly turned soil outside the home. Police had earlier booked Bhoop Singh, originally from UP's Mainpuri, his wife Sonia, son Arun Singh, and daughter Kajal. Tannu's body was handed over to her kin after a post-mortem at Badshah Khan Civil Hospital on Friday.
