State vice president of the Sabha Lakhbir Singh Nizampura said the state government’s action should send a clear message to the industrial units causing air, water and soil pollution in the state. He said the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB), the government body responsible for checking pollution should be made accountable and responsible.

The farmer body has also advocated agriculture-based industry in Punjab, which would serve the twin purpose of checking pollution and uplifting the agricultural sector which is the primary occupation of the maximum of the population in the country.
