Surat: Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) chairman Dr KU Mistry said more development means more responsibilities for the industries, adding that growth at the cost of environment can’t take place.
He said pollution level has to be monitored and accountability of the industries fixed. “We are not against industries, but they can’t grow at the cost of environment. Both must survive.” Mistry promised cooperation towards speedy approval for a new site for solid waste disposal and final effluent treatment plant for the chemical and textile industries of the city.
