The Gujarat high court on Friday granted three weeks' time to the Central Pollution Control Board coal gasifiers. The expert panel was headed by officials of the CPCB and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB).
The high court has also said that the GPCB would consider the proposals of the Morbi ceramic units and permit them to operate modified gasifiers on a trial basis, if the CPCB accepts the nine-member expert panel report. This happened after the CPCB urged the court to give it six weeks' time to take a final decision on the report. However, the lawyers representing industrial units submitted that the central board should not require so much time because its members are signatory to the report. The court has kept June 12 for further hearing on this issue, said the lawyer representing the ceramic industries' association.
Earlier this month, the panel had submitted a report recommending certain measures to keep pollution within permissible limits if the ceramic industry were to be allowed to use coal gasifiers. This was done after examining five modified gasifiers in Morbi's industrial cluster.
