“We have slapped a penalty of Rs 3.16 crore on the sugar mill in Moradabad’s Balvara for flouting pollution-related parameters. We have also asked the mill management to shutdown the unit after a team of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) visited the mill a few months ago and had found some discrepancies. The effluent was voluntarily discharged by the unit in the open which may pollute Dela river”,
