Crackdown on units flouting pollution norms to continue The State Pollution Control Board (PCB) has issued closure notice to three companies in the Edayar industrial region here for operating without preliminary pollution control measures.

Officials said that the inspections would continue in the coming days. The board has informed the Kerala State Electricity Board offices at Perumbavoor, Aluva and Muppathadam that closure notices had been issued to the three companies. The information was also communicated to the secretary of Kadungalloor panchayat Officials at the Eloor office of the board said that closure notices had been issued to Essar Rubber Enterprises, Ramanand Electro Coats and TMV Natural Oils and Extracts located at Edayar for functioning without preliminary pollution control measures.
