DPCC to issue closure notices to 70 units in Patparganj Industrial Area

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee will issue closure notices to 90 industrial units and show-cause notices to at least 70 other units operating in east Delhi’s Patparganj industrial area, based on a recently concluded survey to assess the pollution norms being flouted in the area. However, showcause may be issued to nearly 70 units as they were found violating the Air Act and Water Act. The DPCC survey found that under the green category, where pollution is “mild”, 19 units were found to be operating without valid approvals, four had permission but were found to be flouting pollution control norms and two did not allow inspections in their premises. Under the more severe orange category, out of a total of 73 units, officials suggested issuing showcause notices to 18 units that were flouting air and water pollution norms, and closure notices to five industries found operating without valid permissions.
