As per order of the Supreme Court to the National Green Tribunal last date to receive consent from the pollution control board was May 22.

The PPCB XEN, Manohar Lal Chohan, approached the association to make it aware that the industry that had not become membersof Ludhiana Effluent Treatment Society (LETS) and had no consent from the PPCB should immediately apply for the same.

“The department is going to start door to door survey and will seal the industry without any further notice. The PPCB has already prepared a list of defaulters. This all is being done to improve the environment and the quality of ground water for the benefit of the industry and the public,” said Chohan.

The UCPMA, CICU and LETS have decided to organise camp from Monday onwards. It will start at 11 am. Any member, who needs help to get approval from the PPCB, can visit the camp.
