As per Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) officials, the Haryana government is planning to establish a similar CETP, due to difficultly in dealing with industrial waste generated by electroplating industry in Yamunanagar district.

The HSPCB team had visited the CETP site to review its working and gather knowledge about how to set-up the plant. The officials also visited a few industrial units from where LETS collects the waste before it is treatment. The CETP has been operational or around eight years.

Officials from the state industry department were also present during the visit.
