Parliament Again Addresses India's Pollution Control Board Staffing Issues

India's Pollution Control Boards are having trouble hiring enough people.

This issue was brought up again in the Lok Sabha (India's Parliament).

Many positions are empty in these boards across the country.

A minister explained that there are many problems with hiring, like delays in approving rules and setting up staffing plans.

Also, some people who get hired aren't showing up for work.

The Supreme Court has told these boards to fill all the open jobs soon because these boards are responsible for making sure environmental laws are followed and controlling pollution.
