Cement plant forced to scale down operations
The Darlaghat-based cement plant of Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL) has been forced to shut its operations since Monday following pending clearance of its mining lease. The action follows the issuance of a notice by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) on January 22 where the plant has been directed to stop its operations with immediate effect as it had failed to procure the mandatory clearance from the National Wildlife Board (NWB).
