Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 BENGALURU: The board meeting has approved an action plan for three times the expected revenue of the State Pollution Control Board.

 In the 243rd Board meeting, an action plan of ₹1,546.44 crore was approved despite the expected revenue of only ₹600 crore in the next three years. It is alleged that this is a plan to immediately spend the remaining ₹1,050 crore in the financial year 2023, which will bankrupt the board.

 A board member, who did not want to be named, complained that 'Such a decision has been taken to spend one thousand crores as per their wish'.

 The board meeting agreed to spend money for awareness and awareness programs including development of laboratories, water quality management system, software upgradation for 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26.

 The board members objected to the opinion of Chairman Shanth Thimmaiah that it is not right for the member secretary to send the agenda of the meetings to the members without the approval of the Chairman and said that the agenda can be sent to the members by the member secretary. Also, the members unanimously decided to keep the video-audio recording of the board meeting aside and put aside the chairman's words.

 The meeting approved the filling of 220 posts of the board and it was decided to request the government to fill up the rest of the posts except driver and watchman posts through the Karnataka Examinations Authority.

The State Level Enforcement Committee has been reconstituted and the members nominated by the Government have also been appointed. As per the KTPP Act, it has been decided to increase the amount of expenditure on projects approved by the Chairman and Member Secretary. It has been decided to amend the rules to increase the power of the Chairman from ₹50 lakh to ₹5 crore and that of the Member Secretary from ₹25 lakh to ₹2 crore.

 BBMP's ₹53 crore extravagance!

 The State Pollution Control Board has decided to spend ₹53 crore given by the BBMP to replace the action plan of 64 activities of the 'Vayu Yojana' selected on the Central Air Pollution Control Board's 'Prana' portal.

 The money allocated to BBMP in the 15th financial plan is being spent for monitoring air pollution, road dust study, upgrading of laboratories, vehicle air pollution monitoring, survey, study and report preparation. The board members complained that this will not be of any use.

KSPCB: Violation of the Act by the Chairman

 State Pollution Control Board: Bias in ₹₹19.92 crore contract

KSPCB: Violation of the Act by the Chairman 

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

BENGALURU: The State Pollution Control Board's CHAIRMAN has violated the laws in ordering awareness programs, according to the report of the inquiry committee appointed by the state government.

As per Water Pollution Act 1974 and Air Pollution Act 198, the CHAIRMAN of the Board has no authority to constitute any committee. It is clearly mentioned in the report that Chairman Shanth Thimmaiah has formed the single source committee in violation of acts.

State Audit and Accounts Department Additional Director Mahadeva is the investigating officer of the committee constituted by the government. It is said in the report that the decision to select a single source organization was taken with the intention of awarding contracts to the planned institutions.

 The CHAIRMAN of the board has appointed a self-proclaimed chairman of the single source organization. A committee of three experts should be constituted under the Transparency Act 1999 -4(b). The members should be experts in the same subject on the board.

 An office memorandum was issued by the CHAIRMAN himself, who constituted a single parent organization. This committee was constituted with the objective of giving approval to five organizations to give planned advertising works. Considering the proposal of five firms for advertisement worth ₹19.92 crore, four firms are considered as single source firm. As per Section 15(e) of the State Government Rules, 1976, the CHAIRMAN can approve only tenders worth ₹25 thousand in each case, the report said.

 A short term tender of 35 days could have been invited. Without considering it, it was found to be biased with the intention of awarding contracts to the scheme persons, with the intention of controlling competition.

The single source agency was chosen with the intention of awarding contracts to the proposed organizations without the prospect of reaching more people with environmental awareness programs, the report said.

 In addition to this, in a letter written by Mahadeva to the Member Secretary of the Pollution Control Board on August 16, a proposal for readjustment in the budget of ₹24.60 crore has also been submitted to the board meeting. It has been suggested to provide the copies of the power transfer order received from the government for readjustment to these account headings.

 Background of the case

 A meeting of the 'Single Source Committee' chaired by Board CHAIRMAN Shant Thimmaiah agreed to award the contract to specific agencies in violation of the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement Act-1999 (KTPP) to carry out awareness programs worth ₹17.85 crore. Suri Payala, who was the member secretary of the board, had written a letter to the government saying that all this is a violation of the KTPP Act and action should be taken in this regard. The Principal Secretary of the Department of Environment and Biodiversity had written to him on July 3 and given all the information approved in the 'Single Source Committee' meeting. Based on this, the government formed an inquiry committee.

 In this regard, a report was published in 'Prajavani' on July 17 under the title 'Conflict between Pollution Control Board - Government'.

Smells of corruption in Pollution Control Board (KSPCB)

 ₹17.85 crore illegal in awareness program; A complaint to the government from the member secretary

Smells of corruption in Pollution Control Board (KSPCB)

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: The State Pollution Control Board, which is supposed to eliminate many filth in the state, has messed up its yard due to personal conflicts and irregularities.

 In a meeting of the 'Single Source Committee' chaired by Board Chairman Shant Thimmaiah, ₹17.85 crore worth of awareness programs were directly given to the agencies in violation of the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement Act-1999 (KTPP). The board has also given approval and mandate for these awareness advertising programs for a few months before the assembly elections. Now the bill amount is pending release.

 In the meeting held on January 30, the contract worth ₹17.85 crore was approved to be awarded to specific agencies. Also approved for issue of purchase order. All this is a violation of the KTPP Act and the member secretary of the board, Suri Payala, has written a letter to the government saying that action should be taken in this regard. The Principal Secretary of the Department of Environment and Biodiversity wrote a letter to him on July 3 and gave all the information approved in the 'Single Source Committee' meeting.

After this letter case, there was conflict in the board and the chairman Shanth Thimmaiah has withdrawn the post of joint secretary in addition to IT director Suri Payala. Many cases have been mentioned in the recall order that Suri Payala has also exercised his authority in violation of the rules.

 What is awareness program?: The board meeting gave approval to four agencies to display awareness programs of State Pollution Control Board in the form of advertisements on buses, residential areas. Sai Advertisers have been approved to introduce GST as 'branding fee' on 2000 buses of KSRTC and KKRTC and 100 buses of BMTC Volvo.

 Adon Mo Agency has been given a month's advertisement at 400 bus stands in Bengaluru to display the ad on 4,692 screens approved by DAVP (Directorate of Audio and Visual Programmes).

 It was also agreed in the meeting to issue a purchase order to Benaka Automotives to display advertisements on the bus panels of North-West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation in Hubli and put up 22 hoardings in Haveri district.

 Action as Act; Money not released: Shant Thimmaiah

 There is an opportunity to carry out awareness programs directly. However, I made the Committee as Single Source Agencies as per Section 4(b) of the KTPP Act, where it was discussed, programs were given to agencies approved by the Government. After this, the matter was proposed and approved in the board meeting as well. After the awareness programs are completed, the bills are received from the agencies and the committee headed by the member secretary has been assigned to review them. No report was received from that committee. So not even a single rupee has been released to any agency. I have not violated any law and I will not," said Shant Thimmaiah, President of the State Pollution Control Board.

 Demand a thorough investigation

 The Chairman of the State Pollution Control Board and some officers have directly entrusted the responsibility of awareness advertisement programs to private companies in violation of the KTPP Act. During the previous government's period, this was the pretext of misappropriation of public money under the guise of awareness before the assembly elections. Incompetent and incompetent President and concerned officials were found to have committed corruption. Thus, the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should be urged to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate all the decisions and resolutions taken by the State Pollution Control Board during the term of this President, former member of the Legislative Council P.R. Ramesh said.

 Awareness program: Who is allowed?

 agency; content; duration; amount

•  Sai advertisers, Chokkasandra, Peenya; mass awareness program by 'Bus Branding Media' about State Pollution Control Board; 2 months; ₹3,40,80,000

BWSSB STPs not following norms

 NGT Norm: only 8 out of 31 STPs are with in parameters

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: Out of the 31 STPs managed by BWSSP in the city, only 8 are treating waste water as per norms, while the remaining STPs are exceeding the norms of National Green Bench (NGT) and State Pollution Control Board, according to a report by ActionAid.

After 45 days of monitoring the statistics of STPs recorded on the BWSSB website itself, the agency has prepared a study report on them. 1042.5 million liters of waste water is treated daily in 31 STPs. Studied from Nov 1 to Dec 15, 2022. Six criteria are compared to assess the quality of water treatment.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Potential Hydrogen (pH), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Ammonical Nitrogen and Total Nitrogen levels were studied following measurement. Raghavendra B.Pachchapur, Program Manager of ActionAid, said that except for 8 STPs, these standards are not being followed.

The TSS level should be less than 10 mg per liter as per Pollution Control Board standards. But BWSSB has set this level at 20 mg. Similarly, if the pH level is set at 6.5–9 instead of 6.5–8.5, there is no measurement of coliform, the human-animal waste that causes many diseases.

What SPTs are like?:

Only STPs at Doddabele, Cubbonpark, yelemallappa Chetty, Mylasandra, Kempambudhi, Rajacanal (New), Agar and Hulimavi are following all the norms.

Kengeri, Rajacanal (old), Hebbala, K&C Valley-30 and 218 are not providing sample data.

The data of STPs in Yalahanka TTP, Halasur, Bellandur Amani lakes is alarming and full of misinformation. Jakkuru STP is in very poor condition. Exceeds all standards.

All norms of National Green Bench (NGT), Pollution Control Board should be followed. It should be monitored by Pollution Control Board. The study suggested that the treated water discharged to the lake and other areas should be of the same standard.

'A fish is not worth living...'

BWSSB says water is discharged from its waste water treatment plants (STPs) into the lakes. The word people use is far away. At least the water in the lake is enough for the fish to survive. With such a purpose, we have studied the water flowing from STPs by collecting the data available on their website. A copy of this will also be submitted to BWSSB, Urban Development Department, State Pollution Control Board, ActionAid's Raghavendra B. Pachchapur said.

Upgradation will be done...

Many of the STPs of BWSSB are very old and cannot meet the norms laid down now. Thus, work is being done to upgrade the STPs to meet the NGT norms, informed Gangadhar, STP Department, BWSSB.
