The CLU will be allowed to green and orange industries at a distance of 100 metres and 250 metres, respectively, from Lal Lakir or nearby Abadi (minimum 50 pucca houses) on minimum Six Karam (30-33 feet) approach road, under the policy of permitting industrial activity in agricultural zone of master plans.
Chairing the 42nd meeting of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Board through video conferencing, the CM said all green, red and orange industrial units must conform to the prescribed norms of the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) with zero discharge, or must have consent of potential users for use of treated water.
The CM has also asked the town and country planning department to have a re-look at the red category industry, directing it to earmark separate zones for it in all master plans. He accorded special permission for the expansion of the medical oxygen manufacturing plant in Mohali and also asked the town and country planning department to extend support to all such plants.
