Close on the heels
of a Supreme Court directive to
relocate Delhi's most polluting
industries comes a Gujarat High
Court judgement ordering the
closure of 70 industries in the
Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation Vapi industrial
estate.
Delivered on April 18, the
order gave the industries 48 hours
to comply. Water and power were
cut off to the concerned industries,
which were found to have committed a breach of the provisions
and rules of the Water Ad, the Air
Act and the Environment
Protection Act.
