The Wetland Authority of Delhi has informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that it has identified six drains contributing to the pollution in Najafgarh Lake, and that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has now started to desilt these drains.

The authority, which submitted a report on the status of an environment management plan (EMP) prepared for the rejuvenation of the lake, also said it has identified the need to construct 14 decentralised sewage treatment plants (DSTP) around the lake three of which will be built in the lake's "core zone".

In September 2021, the Delhi government prepared an EMP listing short-, medium- and long-term measures the state would take to revive and protect the lake, after directions from NGT.

The latest report, submitted on December 21, 2023, detailed the status of the action taken by the government since the January 2022 NGT order asking for the EMP to be executed.
