Haryana Pollution Board Issues Closure Notice to Rice Mill Over Alleged Forged Documents
The Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) has issued a show-cause notice to Triveni Rice Mill in Cheeka, Kaithal district, proposing closure and environmental compensation over alleged submission of forged documents to obtain regulatory clearances. The mill holds a valid consent to operate until March 31, 2029. A complaint questioned the authenticity of a no-objection certificate from the Municipal Committee, which denied issuing it. The mill owner has 15 days to respond to the notice under the Air and Water Acts.
