The Municipal Corporation of Ludhiana said the backflow of the river at Bhattian Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) had affected its functioning. Sewer lines are becoming overloaded, which may cause overflow in low-lying areas. Therefore, dyeing clusters have been instructed to suspend operations temporarily.
Authorities have informed local industry bodies including Bahadur Ke Dyeing Association, Tajpur Road Dyeing Association, Industrial Area A and Moti Nagar units, the dyeing cluster in Focal Point, scattered dyeing and washing units, and all industries located between Samrala Chowk and Jalandhar Bypass.
Ludhiana’s textile dyeing industry operates on a significant daily scale, with over 300 units ranging from small to large enterprises. More than a dozen industrial units have a daily dyeing and processing capacity of over 10 tonnes of fabric each, while hundreds of small and medium units are also operational. Treatment infrastructure includes three Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) with a combined capacity of 105 million litres per day.
