AdvertisementsDhanbad: No new hard or soft coke units will be allowed there from October 1 to check pollution and improve the air quality, a state pollution board official said on Sunday. However, this order will not impact the existing hard or soft coke units of the district. The ICA president BN Singh said that the decision would not affect the hard coke units. “As part of further improvement in air quality, we have decided to restrict fresh establishment of hard and soft coke units. The ban was lifted in 2014 after JSPCB introduced several measures to check pollution from hard coke and other industries.
