Industries will be closed due to the instructions of CAQM: Vipul Bhatnagar
Chapter Chairman Vipul Bhatnagar said that the industries of NCR region will be closed due to the instructions of CAQM and their impact will be most on micro, small and medium industries, due to which lakhs of people of NCR will become unemployed and industries will be closed. Vipul Bhatnagar said That the intention of the government is to encourage small scale industries, but some decisions are being taken by the officers in closed rooms, in which some impractical instructions are imposed without taking the feedback of the affected industries. He said that it is being shown that only and only industries are to blame for pollution. While all the industries were running in the lockdown, and all the other works were closed. At that time there was a blue sky and the atmosphere was very good and healthy in terms of air quality and environment. This means that industry-borne pollution is very low, for which other factors are more to blame.

No technology to convert generator to PNG
IIA National Electricity Committee member Ashwani Khandelwal said that till now there is no government approved technology to convert diesel generators to PNG. So this order is very wrong. The availability of electricity for industries in Uttar Pradesh is 24 hours, so the generator is used only when there is a technical fault, which is 15 or 20 minutes and maximum half an hour. Which cannot be a factor of pollution.
Both the ministers took serious cognizance of the problem
Told that Minister Kapil Dev Aggarwal listened very carefully to the problems of the entrepreneurs and immediately talked to Principal Secretary Manoj Singh and Environment Minister (UP) to solve this problem and asked all the entrepreneurs present to solve the problem. He assured to solve this problem by bringing it to the notice of Adityanath. Union Minister of State Dr. Sanjeev Balyan said that he will talk to the CAQM member secretary Arvind Nautiyal for a equitable solution, said that the Union Minister assured all the entrepreneurs that no action would be taken against them. There will be no coercive action. Ashwani Khandelwal, Manish Bhatia Secretary, Pawan Goyal Senior Vice Chairman, Arvind Mittal Vice Chairman, Amit Garg Vice Chairman, Sudhir Goyal Former Chairman, Shamit Agarwal Co-Secretary, Deepak Singhal PRO, Sunil Agarwal etc. were present in the delegation.
