Recommendations
In view of the facts mentioned above, if approved, it is recommended that the fresh consent to operate under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 for Processing of Paddy @ 6.0 TPH (with drier) to produce Raw Rice @ 4.0 TPH may be granted upto 30/06/2027 M/s Karam Rice Mill, Vill Bulepur, Focal Point, G.T. Road, Tehsil Khanna with suitable conditions and following special conditions:
1. The industry shall be bound to comply with the provisions of Master Plan of Khanna.
2. The industry shall comply with the guidelines for Abstraction of Ground Water from the Punjab Water Regulation and Development Authority (PWRDA).
3. The industry shall discharge its domestic effluent onto land for plantation after treatment in septic tank.
4. The industry shall ensure that at any time the emissions do not exceed the emission standards laid down by the Board from time to time.
5. The adequacy and efficiency of the air pollution control device will be the entire responsibility of the industry.
6. The industry shall not discharge any fugitive emissions. All gases shall be emitted through a stack of suitable height, as per the norms fixed by the Board from time to time.

i. All the processing sheds be covered and have minimum ventilation as per the recommendations of Director of Factories.
ii. The industry should plant thick plantation of spreading crown varieties of evergreen trees all along the boundary wall of the rice sheller.
iii. All dust emitting points should be properly hooded and dust extracted to a common point. At this exhaust point, dust coming here will be passed through a dust control system and air will be emitted through a stack of height 3 metres above the roof of the building.
iv. The management and handling of rice husk in the rice shelling units should be done as under:-
