CAQM Finds 17 Nuh Units Non-Compliant With Environmental Norms
Officials checked 35 factories in Nuh, Haryana, to see whether they followed pollution rules.
They found that 17 factories did not meet the required environmental standards.
Eleven factories were following the rules.
Seven others were closed or not working during the inspection.
Some factories had broken or inactive wet scrubbers, which help control air pollution.
Inspectors also found uncovered conveyor belts, too little water sprinkling, and dusty unpaved roads.
Some factories used fuels that were not approved and had diesel generators that did not meet requirements.
The CAQM said all factories in the National Capital Region must follow pollution-control rules.

Officials found 17 units non-compliant with environmental norms, while 11 were compliant.

Official who described the preliminary findings from the inspection.
“In some cases, conveyor belts were found without adequate covering. Water sprinkling and dust suppression arrangements were also inadequate, and boundary windbreakers were insufficient and internal roads were found unpaved, resulting in the generation of fugitive dust.”

“The preliminary assessment indicates that the non-compliances observed in the 17 units relate to inadequate air pollution control systems, fugitive dust emissions, non-compliant diesel generator sets, and use of unapproved fuels, among others.”
