Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan has exhorted the party cadre to expose the violations of environmental laws by the industries, particularly cement, pharmaceutical and mining units, and the civic bodies, in order to mount pressure on the government to take remedial action instead of limiting its words to rhetoric.
In a press release on Saturday, he said the State government was showing a sudden concern over environment while the pollution control norms were flouted blatantly.
One thing that should be especially looked into was whether the urban local bodies were properly maintaining the sewage treatment plants and adhering to the standards laid down for air and water quality, he said.
