Bulk Drug Industry Corporate Commitment to Community

Blanket of Corruption between Politics, Administration & Bulk Drug Industry seems to have been too tightly woven!

The AP Pollution Control Board (APPCB) Task Force meeting scheduled to be held today, Thursday, 13 th December is understood to have been postponed, because of the absence of Member Secretary on health grounds. It is reliably learnt that Member Secretary chosen to keep away from the meeting to avoid decision making under duress from the powers that matter.

As a result, the defaulting 12 major Bulk Drug Units, indulging in the production of un-consented products and/or producing more than the permitted capacities, under the disguise of Zero Liquid Discharges ( ZLD) got out of the net for the time being.

In the meantime, there is every possibility of the state government acting on the recommendation of APPCB, in its meeting held on 4 th December and accept the recommendation of High Level Expert Committee namely- permitting expansion of existing industries having ZLD facility, on case to case to basis in relaxation of Ban Order, based on legal advice.

 

What more does the Bulk Drug Industry want? The Bulk Drug Industry is willing to take risk to the bitter end, in their greed for profit paved with the lives of the people. The state is not prepared to take action against these irreprehensible environmental crimes, which often damage the community more seriously than the criminal offences of the conventional kind.
