Further, a portion of the rice sheller which includes a part of paddy storage shed, unloading of paddy section for processing etc. is located within 15 meters of above said high tension wire. However, no machinery for processing of paddy straw is installed within 15 meters from HT wire and moreover, no construction activity has been carried out directly beneath the transmission high tension wire. Further, the industry has submitted letter from Asstt. Executive Officer, PSPCL, Sub Divisional Office, Makhu, which is reproduced as below:   "It is certified that a request from M/s Shree Ganesh Agro Foods, village Shianpari, Makhu (Rice sheller) is received on 14.03.2023, regarding the certification of construciton, if exits, below the High Transmission wire.   In context of the same site has been visited by me personally, and it is certified that, no construction has been done till date (14.03.2023) in HT Zone/ below this HT line by the Shri Ganesh Agro Foods."                          As per Govt. of Punjab, Department of Science, Technology & Environment notification no. 10/48/2004-STE-(4) / 932 dated 15/10/2013, the industry shall not be located in high tension transmission zone of PSPCL. However, there is an ambiguity whether only construction activity of rice sheller unit, is restricted in high tension transmission zone of PSPCL as per the said notification or the entire industry irrespective of location of passage of high tension wire through its premises, is not suitable for establishment as per the guidelines.                        Keeping in view of above mentioned facts, it is, therefore, recommended that Legal Opinion from Senior Law officer of the Board may be taken for deciding the application for obtaining consent to operate under the Water Act, 1974 and the Air Act, 1981, please.
