The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) has issued closure notice to M Styrofoam Cups and Containers, located in Sancoale Industrial Estate, for failing to comply with pollution control rules.
 
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.
