UP Pollution Control Board Faces Significant Staff Shortage

Imagine a team that's supposed to keep the air and water clean in a big area, but almost half the people on the team are missing.

That's what's happening with the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board.

Out of 732 jobs, about 355 are empty.

They're trying to hire new people, but it takes time.

Some new engineers were hired, but not everyone showed up for work.

Because so many jobs are open, it might be harder for the board to do its job of protecting the environment, especially in cities like Noida.
