Reconsider Ban on Industrial Activities till 14th of November, Urges PHD Chamber to NGT

PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to reconsider its ban on industrial activities in NCR until 14th of November, as its order has serious implications on the industrial activities in NCR which will not only amount to loss of productivity as well as employment.

The PHD Chamber has pointed out that all industrial activities in and around NCR are happening with NOCs obtained from the department concerned and all of a sudden imposing a ban on such activities is not at all justified even until 14th of this month.

The chamber is of the view that pollution is a serious menace which needs to be tackled with collective enthusiasm and holding industries responsible alone for contributing to pollution levels is somehow untenable said the President of the PHD Chamber, Mr. Anil Khaitan.

Therefore, the Chamber has appealed to all relevant authorities in the NCR to strike a balance in their approach so that industrial activities are not disrupted particularly those that operate and conform to the established norms as per the NOCs given to them and at the same time environment and ecologies are protected sufficiently and adequately.
