Brick-kiln owners use toxic waste as fuel in their units
When safeguards go up in smoke
Amritsar, September 2
Despite the fact that much is being said and done about decreasing air pollution, there is a section of the industry which is thriving on polluting
the air. With ever-increasing prices of coal, highly polluting fuel in the shape of discarded tyres, alkaline battery shells and waste obtained from refining of discarded mobile oil (called “gaad”) is being used by brick-kilns and the processing industry right under the nose of the pollution control board.

Go for green assets, govt urged
Amritsar, September 2
“Five star hotels and a mall, the auction for which was held recently, do not signify development and are not as important as this particular green cover for this holy city,” Gurbhej Singh, general secretary, Mission
Aagaaz, an NGO, stated this in a missive to Sukhbir Singh Badal, president, SAD, urging him to intervene in saving about 450 trees in Mental Hospital complex which are going to be axed after the completion of the auction process.
