CPCB Flags Wastewater Treatment Violations by UP Tanneries

CPCB Flags Wastewater Treatment Violations by UP Tanneries

Imagine factories that make leather.

They use water and chemicals that can pollute the environment.

The government has rules about cleaning this wastewater before it goes back into rivers.

A pollution watchdog checked these factories and found they weren't following the rules.

Specifically, the water cleaning systems weren't working well, letting out dirty water.

The watchdog told the state government to make the factories clean their water better, so they don't harm the environment.

This includes the levels of bad stuff like chemicals and other pollutants in the water.

The factories have to improve how they treat the water, so it meets the standards.
