Bachupally residents submit complaint over industrial pollution, PCB responds
Residents of Bachupally, Hyderabad, have been battling industrial pollution for years. In March 2025, they protested, staged a road blockade, and submitted a formal complaint to the Pollution Control Board (PCB). The PCB responded by initiating daily inspections of factories, issuing notices for modernization of treatment equipment, and setting up two Air Quality Measurement Systems in the area. While the PCB has taken some action, residents remain concerned about the long-term impact of the pollution and are committed to continuing their protests until a lasting solution is found.03:29 PM Mar 15, 2025 IST
