Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board had also ordered the closure of units at Medak and Rana Reddy districts for violating norms.
“These industries are also directed to stop all industrial activities with effect from July 23, 2012 to facilitate the completion of all on-going batches,’’ the board said in a release.
The list of companies which were issued closure orders of some of their units include Aurobindo Pharma Ltd, Hetero Labs Ltd, Cirex Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Covalent Laboratories Pvt Ltd, Divis Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Sri Krishna Pharmaceuticals Ltd, and Innogent Laboratories Pvt Ltd, the release said.
