[Resolved]  Hindustan Petroleum Company Ltd & Vitthalkamat's Restaurant — Noise Pollution @ Air Pollution from CNG Machinery & Chimney & A/Cs

Sub : - Noise pollution from CNG station and Hotel Vitthal Kamath @ HPCL Premises Vastrapur, Ahmedabad

Respected Sir;

Hindustan Petroleum Company is running CNG station @ Vastrapur, Ahmedabad near Mansi Complex, Vastrapur, Ahmedabad 380.015 since December 2005. The machinery is kept just 10 feet away from buildings of our society: ‘ Balaji Avenue, Gulab-Park Co-op Housing Society ’, Judge Bungalow Road, Vastrapur, A’bad – 380015 where we are staying since 1995 i.e. 12 years.

HPCL has no permission from AMC to run petrol pump or CNG Station

The CNG machinery is making too much noise thereby making it difficult to live for members of society especially students and old age parents in our houses. The members are facing Mental Torturing. School and College students are in depression as they can not study calmly. Parents aged more than 70 years are tired of the situations.

The machinery is being operated from 8.00 to 23.00 and more everyday.

Recently Hotel has started its business in this premises which has Chimney and Heavy capacity Air Conditioners kept just 10 feet away from our residential flats.

The complaint regarding this illegal activity is given by the Chairman, Balaji Avenue, Gulab Park Co Op H. Society, Vastrapur to:

AUDA vide his letter dated[protected] informed this society that they have not given permission for CNG station. They only permitted for petrol pump.

The officials of GPCB contacted society members recently in 2nd week of May 2008.

On calling by officer from Collector office, written complaint was given by society at Vastrapur Panchayat office.

Shri Amit Shah Hon’ble minister has instructed Collector, Ahmedabad to appoint neutral person to solve our complaints vide his letter No. Ra/K/M/Gruh.N.Aa/Email-24 dated[protected].

Shri Amit Shah Hon’ble minister has instructed AUDA to look into the matter to solve our complaints vide his letter dated[protected].

Now AUDA instructs us to contact GPCB as they have given permission to HPCl.

On 11th February, 2007 there was fire due to illegal storage of oil tins in wash area of petrol pump. Shri Rajesh Bhatt, Chief fire Officer of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation rushed to the Petrol Pump and controlled the fire. He was surprised with CNG station erected near residential buildings.

Now a days Hotel Vitthal Kamath, Vishal Mega Mart and Coffee Shop in this premises have installed Heavy Capacity Air Conditioners & CHIMNEY adding more Noise Problem. The Air Conditioners are running from 18 to 20 Hrs. daily.

30 months have passed after representation to various offices but there is no result.

We hope you will be able to free us from this unbearable situation and help our children to study, will help us to LIVE IN OUR HOUSES CALMLY.

Yours truly,
