“This has reference to the clarification raised against our application. The pointwise reply is as under:
1. Regarding generation of waste water from the section of glue manufacturing, it is for your kind information that the glue is manufactured manually by mixing starch and water in a open pan and no waste water is generated from this section.
2. Regarding generation of waste water from printing section, it is for your kind information that the cleaning of tray and roller is done once in 3-4 months and the water generated from cleaning is taken in the separate plastic carboy and the same is being used for dilution of ink, as we are using only water based ink. So, no waste water is discharged from this section.
