Surat: The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) government have showed that the samples of hazardous chemical waste accumulated from the dumping web site at Vankhuta village in Bharuch fit with that of Hindustan Chemicals Company (HCC) at Olpad in Surat district.
Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) and Bharuch police would possibly now take motion towards the company for violating Environment (Protection) Act through dumping the hazardous chemical waste in the open.
Bharuch police on March 12 had registered an FIR towards the company for removing hazardous chemical waste in an open box at Vankhuta village in Umalla taluka of Bharuch district. Drivers of 3 tankers with chemical waste were noticed through villagers dumping the waste in the open box.
Two drivers were nabbed through the villagers and handed over to the police. The drivers told the police that the chemical waste belonged to HCC and that the contractor had requested them to dump it in the open box near Bharuch.
Two days in the past, farmers of 50 villages in Olpad taluka sat on a dharna out of doors the HCC plant at Olpad. The dharna through Gujarat Khedut Samaj (GKS) demanded rapid closure of the company.
GKS president Jayesh Patel stated, “Now that the samples of HCC, that have been tested at FSL, have matched, the GPCB must take steps for the closure of the company for violating setting laws. This is in the passion of other folks of Olpad and Bharuch. If the state executive fails to do so towards the HCC homeowners, we can be pressured to accentuate our agitation for the immediate closure of the company. Lives of loads of other folks in Olpad taluka are at stake.”
