The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has asked authorities in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan to issue show-cause notices to industries in the National Capital Region that have not yet ordered pollution-control devices.
In an October 30 letter, the CPCB said non-compliant units should be taken up under the Commission for Air Quality Management’s revised emission norms. The board warned that industries failing to comply could face closure action.
The move comes as part of efforts to curb air pollution in the NCR. According to the letter, the matter is being pursued with state and local authorities to ensure compliance with the updated standards.
