The committee, which usually uploads its assessments by the 7th of every month, has not shared any data since September.

A DPCC official, speaking on condition of anonymity, attributed the delay to ongoing upgrades at monitoring sites.

“New sensors and monitoring stations are being installed at STPs, CETPs and major drains. These are expected to improve accuracy and allow real-time reporting. The process is taking longer than expected,” the official said.
