The All India Lokadhikar Sangathan has written to the Delhi Pollution Control Committee urging it to immediately execute the National Green Tribunal’s order of shutting down stainless steel pickling units in Wazirpur, New Delhi.
“We are in the process of moving an application before the Tribunal soon for the execution of the directions due to continuous pollution of river Yamuna for negligence by DPCC by not taking action against the illegal functioning of the industries,” said Girish Kumar Pandey, President, All India Lokadhikar Sangathan.
In its order dated 22nd January 2015 NGT has asked DPCC to shut 17 pickling units. The NGT had directed DPCC to ensure that no unit should be operating without the consent of the Pollution Control Board in the region. The tribunal had issued notices to several industrial units in October 2014 for discharging harmful effluents into drains that empty into river Yamuna.
