Pioneer News Service | Angul:
Private-sector industrial establishments seem to be more concerned about protection of environment to keep the people of periphery villages in good humour than most of the public sector units at Angul, including Nalco, which are neglecting the pollution control measures. Several public sector units have been told by the Rehabilitation and Periphery Development Committee to minimise the pollution and go for an extensive plantation programme around their plants.
"JSPL (Jindal Steel and Power Limited) will distribute free saplings in all peripheral villages of its project to assist people in creating a green environment," said JSPL ED Rajesh Jha while addressing a large gathering on the occasion of celebration of the World Environment Day at village Nisha. He expressed his concern over global warming and said that JSPL is committed to an environment-friendly project at Angul.
Jha said pollution would be substantially controlled at JSPL by adopting the coal gasification technology. Addressing the gathering, Angul Sub-Collector S Parida stressed upon corporate social responsibility of the industries. An awareness rally on environment protection was also organised on the occasion.The management of the Talcher Thermal Power Project also observed the World Environment Day. A mass tree plantation was undertaken at Nakula Chandra School of Deaf and Dumb.
