SHASUN Chemicals in the SIPCOT industrial park in Cuddalore, from where a bromine gas leak earlier this week left hundreds of people gasping for breath, was functioning illegally as it did not have a valid consent from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) to operate the plant. Getting the consent is mandatory under the Water and Air Act.
