Policies being framed by PPCB are anti industry
Ludhiana: 11 June 2014: (Punjab Screen Bureau):
Sh. Avtar Singh, President CICU in a statement released today said that:
Ø 14 different teams formed by Punjab Pollution Control Board carried out intensive survey of electroplating related industries in Ludhiana.
Ø PPCB officials directed all electroplating related industrial units to install meters on water outlet supply through submersible pump or water connection of Municipal Corporation.
Ø This is a very futile exercise which is not at all connected with controlling water pollution.
Ø Water supply through different sources is used by these industrial units for different purposes such as manufacturing process, drinking, toilet cleaning, cooling etc.
Ø PPCB is not concerned with entire water in take but for proper treatment of effluents in water mainly used in the manufacturing process.
Sh. Charanjit Singh Vishwkarma, President United Cycle Parts & Manufacturing Association said that this highly uncalled for and unrealistic direction has caused great resentment and created panic in the entire electroplating industry. Such type of policies being framed by PPCB are anti industry and one can not hope that any new electroplating industry will ever come up in the Punjab State.
Both of them have requested and urged upon Hon’ble Chief Minister, Sh. Parkash Singh Badal to instruct the chairman PPCB not to introduce measures in the guise of controlling pollution which are causing undue harassment to the electroplating industry already reeling under adverse economic scenario.
