BUDDAH NULLAH

Feb. 21, 2020

The Punjab Cabinet approved ₹650 crore in the first phase for rejuvenation of the highly polluting Buddah Nullah.

About:

  • Buddah Nullah is a seasonal tributary of Sutlej River in Ludhiana.

  • It runs through the Malwa region of Punjab and joins the Satluj at Wajipur Kalan in the Ludhiana district.

  • The pollution in the Buddah Nullah is a major threat to public health and environment and the main sources of pollution in the nullah are direct flow of pollutants by industries and dairies.

  • Under this plan, an additional sewage treatment plant having a capacity of 275 MLD would be developed to solve the problems of Buddah Nullah and subsequent pollution of the river Satluj.
