The Telangana high court on Tuesday expressed satisfaction over the efforts of the pollution control board, GHMC, electricity, police, and other departments in getting rid of polluting industries from the midst of residential areas in Tata Nagar and Sastry Puram colonies.
Noting that scores of industries moved out of the areas after HC intervention, a bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B Vijaysen Reddy directed the authorities to cleanse the areas vacated by pollutants. When GHMC was trying to raze them down, they approached the HC. All such pleas will be looked into in June. The bench closed the PIL that was filed in 2012 questioning the havoc created by pollutants and official apathy.
