Dear Sir
Sub: Air pollution due to plastic recycling activity.

Ours is an industrial estate having around 214 galas engaged in various activities. They are engaged in different types of activities.

Gala No 103/104 and some other gala are engaged in the process of manufacture of plastic granules. This is done by melting used plastic bags etc. in an oven/furnace inside their gala. This process leads to generation of foul odour which is causes lot of health issues. The exhaust ducting and fan system installed by them is unable to stop this.

Such type of activity is serious health hazard as well as fire hazard. It will not be out of place to mention here that a major fire took place in gala 103 on 3rd February 2018 leading to fire in many galas nearby causing huge loss to members as well as society. By sheer luck there was no human causality.

Written complaints are received from gala near this gala (copy enclosed) which is self-explanatory.

Please let us know what action can be taken by us and what help will be given by you in stopping such a health/fire hazardous activity.

Your early action/response in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Yours truly
For Shanti Industrial Premises Co-op Soc Ltd.

Hon. Secretary M.C. Member.
