The notice has been issued as per an unanimous decision taken by the board at its 66th meeting held recently. |
Official sources said that the factory was given sufficient opportunity to obtain 'consent to operate' as required under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. But, the unit failed to comply with the directions of the board. |
As a result a suspension notice was issued to the unit on September 22. Further, directions were also issued to the chief electrical engineer for disconnection of power supply to the unit. |
