Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Bringing down pollution from brick kilns in the National Capital Region during winter has turned out to be a major challenge for the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA). An EPCA member who did not wish to be named said only 1,771 of the 5,240 brick kilns in NCR have shifted to a cleaner technology - zig-zag. However, in a meeting on Friday, EPCA was informed that a large number of these 1,771 kilns have installed an inferior quality of zig-zag technology, which they believe will not bring down emission levels much.
