CPCB orders 45 of 105 Maharashtra sugar units shut
Wednesday, 25 October 2023
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has ordered the closure of 45 cooperative sugar factories in Maharashtra for violating the Environmental Protection Act. This is the first time such a large number of sugar units have received closure notices. The CPCB has directed the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) to inspect and verify the closure of these units. The MPCB must also ensure that the units do not resume operations without obtaining a revocation of the closure direction. However, it may be challenging to close these units due to the political influence of their owners.
