While
it is the responsibility of a municipal corporation to publish the city Environment
Status Report (ESR) every year before July 31, Nagpur Municipal Corporation
(NMC) will miss the deadline for the second consecutive year. This year too,
NMC has not even initiated the process to study Nagpur city's environment
status, confirmed a source in NMC. The civic body had skipped conducting the
ESR for 2015-2016 and submitted the 2014-2015 report at its general body
meeting in September last year. An official from NMC admitted that the previous
ESR had flaws, and added the private firm, which prepared the report, has been
asked to do the ESR again.
