Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court on Thursday recognizes pills looking for instructions to the authorities to order the industry to shift from using coal as fuel to gas, to curb air pollution in the state.
JB Pardiwala Justice and Justice VD Nanavati said that this was important litigation and decided to hear it further on October 29.
Pantric applicants Amit Panchus handed over that gas shift because the fuel caused air pollution in a significant way.
Compared to coal, PNG / CNG is a clean fuel and produces a little or without pollution.
There are several countries mandating gas use, not coal in the industrial unit.
The government is bound to customs to provide clean air to their citizens and they have the power to mandate the use of gas to run the industry under the provisions of AC.
Gujarat pollution control agency (GPCB) has responded to this pill by sending that he has a plan to reduce air pollution.
The plan was prepared after the Central Pollution Control Agency (CPCB) placed the big cities of Gujarat in the total list of 102 ‘non-achievement cities’.
There is an industrial cluster where the pollution level is beyond permitted limits, the applicant is added.
