Pilibhit's Devha River Dying: NGT Warning Ignored, Admin Silent for 15 Days

• Pilibhit's lifeline, the Devha River, is severely polluted by city sewage and toxic factory waste.
• NGT experts visited 15 days ago, witnessing untreated waste from 9 major drains directly mixing into the river.
• Despite NGT's strict instructions to the District Magistrate for an action plan, no ground action has been taken.
• The river's water is now toxic, destroying aquatic life and threatening groundwater with serious diseases like cancer.
• Local activists question the administration's prolonged silence and negligence, fearing the river will only be cleaned on paper.
