<p style="text-align: justify;">Sir, as per record of this office, the industry namely M/s Swadeshi Wollen Mills, Dyeing Complex, Bahadur Ke Road, Ludhiana had never obtained any NOC/CTO from the Board for disposal of its trade effluent into the conveyance system of CETP, however earlier it had obtained NOC from the Board vide no CTE/Fresh/LDH3/2017/5647807 dated 15.06.2017 to establish a dyeing unit in the Bahadur ke dyeing cluster and for the disposal of trade effluent @ 95 KLD into sewer. The NOC was valid upto 14.06.2018 but it has neither commissioned and nor obtained any CTO from the Board thereafter. M/s Swadeshi Wollen Mills, Dyeing Complex, Bahadur Ke Road, Ludhiana had obtained shares from BKTKA for the disposal of trade effluent into CETP conveyance system @ 100 KLD. The said firm (Land Building & Shares) has now been purchased by M/s Tudor International.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is further added here that, the Board had already issued certain directions u/s 33-A of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 dated 22.12.2020 to the Chairman of the SPV, BKTKA as well as all the members of SPV that, “Trading of shares by the member units of the SPV is not allowed. In case, any industry discontinue its water polluting process, it may surrender its earlier allotted shares to the SPV. Further allotment of these shares shall be made by the Managing Committee with prior approval of the Chairman of the Board.” Whereas, the project proponent is involved in the trading of shares without getting prior permission from the Competent Authority of the Board. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Considering above it is recommended that the NOC case may be refused after affording an opportunity of personal hearing before the Competent Authority of the Board as the industry is violating the directions issued u/s 33-A of the Water Act, 1974 dated 22.12.2020 as reported above.</p> |
