Air pollution SGTPA urges mill owners to shift outside city

Surat | Saturday | 15th December, 2018

Summary:

Also, air pollution is exceedingly high in the city areas. But, the mills located in the city areas directly release their highly hazardous waste either in the creeks or in the river. In last six months, I have issued notices to 36 textile mills for violating pollution norms. It is always advisable that the textile mills causing air pollution are moved out of the residential zones to safeguard health and lives of the residents.”Many residents staying near textile mills have been suffering from breathing problems, asthma and lung-related diseases. Surat: If all goes well, air and water pollution from city’s residential areas housing textile dyeing and printing mills may reduce in the coming years..
