TNPCB orders closure of six glue factories [1]

The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB), following the recommendation from the District Collector, has issued orders to close down and disconnect power supply for six glue factories in Pernambut for causing environment pollution by discharging untreated effluents. Collector Ajay Yadav has sternly warned industries polluting the water bodies and ground water of disconnection of power supply and closure of the unit.

According to a press release, the district administration has been continuously receiving complaints on pollution of water bodies and ground water due to discharge of effluents from glue manufacturing and leather industries operating at Pernambut..
