To minimise air pollution in Gurgaon, the Environmental Pollution Control and Monitoring Authority (EPCMA) is looking at making availability of electricity 24x7 to industrial units in the millennium city to reduce their dependence on diesel generators.
Chairman, EPCMA, Bhure Lal said he has directed the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) to examine industrial units in the city which operate on diesel generators and to prepare a plan for use of green fuel energy.
"I have directed them to prepare a plan for 24X7 electricity facility to industries in the city," he said.
