NEW DELHI: The Central
Pollution Control Board has told Jindal Ecopolis, the company setting up the
waste-to-energy plant at Okhla, that it would not be permitted to operate if it
fails to provide technical details on pollution control at the incineration
plant.
At a meeting held on Tuesday,
CBCP raised several questions which Jindal representatives were unable to
answer. They have now been asked to submit details within the next few days so
that they may be studied by experts who will eventually provide inputs on how
to make the plant environmentally sustainable.
"We have asked Jindal
Ecopolis to provide the committee with details on the technical issues of the
project. They had come prepared with a general description of the plant whereas
we were interested in the specific technical points of each step of the
process. A list of questions has been made available to them and they are
expected to respond to them shortly," said an official.
