Therefore ‘consent to establish’ (NOC) application applied by the industry under the provisions of the Water   Act, 1974 & Air  Act, 1981 was refused vide no. CTE/Fresh/FZL/2024/24348336 dated 09.01.2024.                        Now, the project proponent has again applied for obtaining the consent to establish (NOC) from pollution angle under the Water Act, 1974 & the Air Act, 1981 for construction of the commercial project for development of residential colony in an area of 13.34 acres for developing 282 no. of residential plots under orange category.
