Environmental Engineer,RO-4,Ludhiana shall visit to carry out re-sampling and submit report/recommendations accordingly.
Now, the industry was again visited by an officer of the Board on 22/2/24 to verify the compliance with CTO under the Water Act,1974 special condition and reported that the untreated dyeing effluent samples from the industry were collected and as per the analysis report ph=9.5 and TDS= 6031 mg/l.
