Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak-EPA) closed down two poultry feed manufacturing units in Kahuta on Saturday, after finding they were polluting the environment.

"We have been receiving complaints against these units since 2003. The manufacturers were told to adopt a proper method of production but they continued to cause environmental degradation,' Pak-EPA Director-General (DG) Asif Shuja Khan told Daily Times on Saturday.

He said Environment Minister Hameedullah Jan Afridi directed the Pak-EPA to monitor the units on a complaint of Bahria Town administration.
