The Problem — A Colony Living With Its Own Waste

Jayanti Nagari 3 is a residential colony of apartments and row houses in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Like many housing societies built in the 2000s and 2010s, it had a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) installed as part of its infrastructure — a legal requirement under Maharashtra’s environmental norms. But somewhere along the way, the plant stopped functioning. Then it sat idle. For five years.

During those five years, all sewage from the colony — every flush, every drain — was being discharged untreated directly into the surrounding environment. The consequences were unmistakable and impossible to ignore.
