GURUGRAM: Only eight brick kilns in Gurgaon and neighbouring Mewat district have put in position eco-friendly zig-zag generation to this point, after the government banned polluting conventional kilns in September.
Officials on the regional administrative center of Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) said they had won applications from the house owners of eight kilns, who claimed to have switched to the cleaner generation and sought permission for reopening their outlets. There are general 101 brick kilns in Gurgaon and Mewat districts. While 95 are located in Nuh (Punhara) and Firozpur Jhirka of Mewat, six are in spaces just about Sohna Road and Basai Road.
"We have received eight applications so far from brick kilns, which have switched to the zig-zag technology," said a senior legit of HSPCB. However, he could not specify what number of kilns in Gurgaon had put in the brand new generation. These kilns can start operations simplest after HSPCB officers carry out inspections and provides a go-ahead. Traditional brick kilns free up pollutants equivalent to carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and suspended particulate.
Jai Bhagwan, regional officer, HSPCB, said, "The zig-zag technology brings down emission of pollutants... carbon particles settle down and don't get released in the atmosphere. It is, therefore, a cleaner technology."
After repeated notices and reminders for the past one-and-a-half years, the government in September gave four months to the brick kilns in Gurgaon and neighbouring spaces to adopt the cleaner generation.
"In September, they were asked to close down for the next six months as the air pollution goes up during winters in the NCR. The district food and supply controller is carrying out inspections and is not allowing any kiln without zig-zag technology to function in and around the city," said every other legit.
Brick kilns' house owners, then again, requested for a minimum of two more years to change to the generation. "It is not possible to turn to a new technology within four months. We need at least two-three years as a lot of things, including logistics and budget, need to be kept in mind while making the switch," said the landlord of a kiln.
"We have given enough time. In 2018, we might allow traditional kilns to operate only between March and June. But, from 2019, kilns that don't have the zig-zag technology will not be given any permit," he added.
