Is Pollution Control Board
monitoring SIPCOT air? __ Cuddalore, 24 April 2006: Yet another pollution patrol
report and the observations are pretty much similar to the past few
reports. There has been no change in the air quality of SIPCOT. The SACEM
monitors have conducted a second pollution patrol in 24 hours (after last nights incident of injury to one of their members while
patrolling). The conditions prevalent in SIPOCT raises
serious questions about the claims of the TNPCB of strict enforcement of
rules and regulations. Its attitude clearly indicates its callousness
towards the public health. With this attitude the TNPCB will soon have
another Bhopal
to answer for.
