Page: 2
Summary:
- Hundreds of farmers from Rajasthan, Punjab, UP, and Haryana clashed with police in Tibbi, Hanumangarh, protesting the construction of a 40-megawatt grain-based ethanol plant.
- Protesters fear the facility will deplete and pollute crucial groundwater, citing pollution impacts from similar units, such as the previously shut down plant in Zira, Punjab.
- The conflict resulted in FIRs against hundreds, 40 arrests, and discussion in the Lok Sabha, despite the manufacturer claiming the plant will operate using a 'zero liquid discharge' (ZLD) system.
Additional Facts:
- Ethanol plants must obtain Environmental Clearance (EC) under the EIA Notification, 2006, and adhere to Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) operational standards monitored by the State Pollution Control Board.
- The Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) under the Ministry of Jal Shakti mandates No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for large-scale industrial groundwater abstraction to manage depletion in water-stressed regions.
