Illegal units flush acid into Mehsana fields [1]

AHMEDABAD: Few months ago, fields of mustard in Nugar village of Mehsana district refreshed the memories of Shahrukh Khan and Kajol meeting in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. But, barely had one started cooling his eyes with this countryside view and a strong stench of chemicals became a big put off.

Surprisingly, one could hardly spot the source of this reek, as hidden amidst these lush green fields was an unscrupulous unit manufacturing various chemicals. Away from eyes of any authorities, the acidic effluents released from these units was flowing away merrily in the fields.
