telangana state pollution control board: Pollution Board Orders Closure Of Six Units | Hyderabad News

HYDERABAD: The Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) issued closure orders to six units for environmental violations. Two pharma companies were asked to shut shop.
Sources said that a fire mishap in one of the pharma companies led to its closure, while a sugar factory distillery unit was also asked to close down as it was damaging crops. The PCB has issued closure orders to Yadadri Life Sciences located in Ramojipet of Yadadri district. The pharma company is into manufacturing of bulk drugs and intermediaries.
The PCB said that the company was operating without a valid Consent for Operation. “It was found that the company was manufacturing two products without nod. Also, we have observed spillage of effluents from the factory. The industry has failed to maintain operation and manufacturing records,” it alleged.
The TSPCB also issued orders to stop production to Gayatri Sugars (Distilleries) in Kamareddy district. PCB said the industry hasn’t provided storm water drains and was storing spent wash (residual liquid waste) for over 30 days as against the norms.
Further, the PCB issued orders for the closure of Monashi Life Sciences, a pharma firm in Patancheru. The plant was gutted in fire in April. The firm was storing effluents without sending them to a common treatment plant. It was also found that there was no proper fire hydrant system. Closure orders were also issued to stone crushing units and other firms.
