Question

A few residents in your locality, for business gains, have established small-scale industrial/commercial activities such as pathological labs and fabric dyeing centres without obtaining ‘No objection certificates’ from municipal authorities. Would you support these activities? Give any three reasons in support of your answer.

Answer 1

I will not support these activities in my community without ‘No objection certificates’ from local authorities.

Following are the three reasons for my decision:

1. The wastewater from these facilities contains hazardous materials that seriously endanger the health of the local population.
2. Pathological labs produce biological wastes like germs and disinfectants that must be disposed of with extreme care.
3. Dyeing centers discharge toxic chemicals and dyes that harm all forms of life and contaminate the water supply.
