| File Note: |
The agenda note has been perused and it has been noted down that the site of the industry falls in residential zone. As the Master Plan of Khanna has been notified on 03.01.2011 and thus, the industry can be allowed to run for fifteen years as per section 79 of PRTPD Act,1995 in non-confirming zone which is going to expire on 02.01.2026. Moreover, the DTP, Ludhiana is yet to adjust the unit by spot zoning it as industrial zone in light of the report given by MC, Khanna. In these circumstances, the industry cannot be allowed to run beyond the said date as the Govt. has not extended the said timeline in case of Khanna as was done in case of Ludhiana
Hence, if approved, notice to issue directions u/s 31-A of the Air Act,1981 as amended in 1987 and u/s 33-A of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act,1974 proposing following directions alongwith an opportunity of personal hearing before the CEE (B) of the Board may be issued, pl:
