Bachupally residents to protest against industrial pollution on March 9
Residents of Bachupally, Hyderabad, are planning a protest on March 9, 2025, to demand action against ongoing industrial pollution in the area. They complain of a strong chemical smell and hazardous gases from nearby factories causing health problems like burning eyes and breathing difficulties. Despite repeated complaints to authorities and the Pollution Control Board (PCB), no action has been taken. This issue has been ongoing for at least five years, affecting residents of Bachupally and KRCR Colony. They believe the pollution stems from unauthorized bulk drug industries that dispose of untreated effluents, violating regulations. Residents are urging the PCB to intervene and resolve the issue, ensuring a healthier environment.12:07 PM Mar 06, 2025 IST
