Meghalaya govt shuts 6 industrial units for flouting environmental norms

Shillong, Sep 4 (UNI) In a decisive move to enforce environmental regulations and protect public health, the Meghalaya State Pollution Control Board (MSPCB) has ordered the closure of six industrial units operating in the Byrnihat area of Meghalaya for flouting environmental norms set by the board.
The closure of the six industrial units was ordered after the MSPCB team led by Principal Secretary of Forest & Environment, Sampath Kumar, conducted a thorough inspection of an industrial unit in Byrnihat, Meghalaya, on Tuesday, an official said on Wednesday.
The closure notice to the six industrial units at Byrnihat is significant because the industrial town of Meghalaya was the 'most polluted city' in India in February this year.
