Fifteen textile processing units that were closed for violation of rules, were found being operated once again and dumping huge amount of untreated effluents in water sources near Bhavani. The units were sealed again on Wednesday.
Following widespread complaints from the public, a team of officials from revenue department and Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) conducted surprise checks in Bhavani, Servarayanpalayam and Kalingarayanpalayam areas. The officials found 15 units, which were sealed by them a year ago, functioning once again. Of them, four units in Servarayanpalayam were found using generators.
