| "Looking beyond the expansion plan of Jubiliant Organosys Ltd., it is necessary to look into the reasons for the serious deterioration of the environment in the Nanjangud Industrial Layout. This demands a more scientific and careful environmental management approaches in the industrial settlement. Just a few kms away from the layout, there is an environmental pollution crises. The matter is already before the the law and Lok Ayukta. A deliberate or inadvertent slippage here, not considering the deteriorating groundwater resources in the vicinity and the quality of life, is violation of the basic human rights and environmental protection mandatory legal requirements.
