The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) has issued a closure notice to two cement plants in Jaypee Wishtown, Noida. The plants have been operating illegally since the project started, and they are located on plots allocated for developing sports facilities in the master plan.
The UPPCB has taken action after receiving complaints from residents of Jaypee Wishtown, who say that the plants are causing air pollution and affecting their health. The plants do not have the necessary consent from the UPPCB, and they also do not have any green nets or water sprinkling arrangements to control dust pollution.
The plants have been given a deadline of June 25 to shut down operations. If they do not comply with the notice, the UPPCB will take further action, which could include sealing the plants or filing a case against the operators.
The closure of the two cement plants is a welcome move by the UPPCB. It is important to ensure that industrial units comply with environmental regulations, and that they do not cause pollution that affects the health of the people living nearby.
The two cement plants are owned by a company called Jaypee Cement. They have a capacity of 100 tonnes per day each, and they were commissioned in 2011. They are located in Sector 137 of Noida, which is a residential area.
The closure of the two cement plants will be a relief to the residents of Jaypee Wishtown. They have been living with the noise and pollution from the plants for many years, and they are glad to see that action is finally being taken.
The closure of the two cement plants is also a victory for the environmental movement in India. It shows that the government is willing to take action against polluters, even if they are powerful companies.
