Board finds illegal outlet to discharge pollutants into the Periyar
The State Pollution Control Board (PCB) will issue closure notice to a bonemeal unit at Edayar based on the finding that it had set up an illegal outlet to discharge effluent and pollutants into the Periyar.
Officials of the Environment Surveillance Centre of the board in Eloor inspected the site and found that effluent were routed through an illegal connection directed to the river. The bonemeal unit violated norms at a time when the board had issued a notice asking why it should not be closed down for not complying with regulations.
