Confusion over initiating action against seven dyeing units

Tirupur: The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board recently had identified seven dyeing units operating illegally despite the Madras High Court's closure orders.

TNPCB's District Environmental Engineer R. Kannan told The Hindu that the Board had lodged complaints against all the seven units with the respective police stations. However, police officials contended that they were not authorised to take up cases in such circumstances and were of the view that the Board should approach the court again to carry out criminal prosecution. Meanwhile, TNPCB Chairman Vishwanath Shegaonkar and other senior officials took stock of the situation in Tirupur knitwear cluster.
