The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board has written to the State Government asking it to shut down 21 tanneries here for violating orders prohibiting discharge of polluted water in the Ganga.
The Board said it has consistently served notices to the tannery units to install primary treatment plant to discharge polluted water but instead they are discharging water directly in the river. Mr Radheyshyam, Zonal Officer of the Pollution Control Board said 80 tannery units had been shut for not installing the treatment plants. It has also been found that 21 tanneries have been producing beyond their treatment plan andpermission has been sought from the Board to shut these units.
