New Delhi, June 9 (KNN) Slamming the industries that are reluctant towards installing the online pollution reporting system, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has strongly said that no further extension of the deadline will be given to such industries and the (state) pollution boards will withdraw the consent to operate.
The government had extended the deadline from March 31 to June 30 for industries along the river Ganga to install online pollution reporting systems. The CPCB has also issued time bound directions for the implementation of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) sector wise to prevent the discharge of effluent into the river Ganga.
The system would help the CPCB monitor emissions and affluent discharge into Ganga.
“Despite efforts by the state pollution boards to install online monitoring systems, it has not yielded desired results. Most of the industries have not been transmitting online data to the CPCB server,” CPCB chairman Shashi Shekhar has said in letter to all state pollution control boards, reports media.
“No further extension of the deadline will be given and the (state) pollution boards will have no option but to withdraw the consent to operate and forfeit bank guarantee of factories that fail to comply with the orders,” Shekhar said in his letter.
The CPCB has also decided that systems being installed by the factories will be certified by a new national agency which the government proposes to set up to ensure adherence to environmental law. (KNN Bureau)
