If you live in Noida and have been troubled because of the stench in your area, you can heave a sigh of relief. Noida is planting aromatic plants along the Shahdara drain to mask its stink.
The stink emanating from the drain has been a major concern for the authority because it troubles residents of some of the most posh sectors in Noida.
‘The stench of the drain has been a major concern for the authority and we have decided to plant over 4,000 aromatic plants along the drain to mask the stink,’ said Noida horticulture director MP Singh said.
He added that the authority cannot do much about the situation because the drain carries mostly untreated water from Delhi which pollutes the air. The drain enters Noida at Sector 14(A) and opens into Yamuna after travelling about 3.5 km through areas such as sector 15A, 16A (Film City) and Sector 18.
