Making polluters pay
the days when companies belonging to major industrial houses could pollute with impunity and get away scot-free are over. Social activism in India has taken giants steps to forever destroy the immunity money and power granted despicable owners of such companies. Production processes used to be unsustainable and by-products contaminated and destroyed the natural resources of the land. Today, we have a number of institutions, unhindered by bureaucratic redtape and hidebound officials, assisting in the process of bringing to book erring industries. In the process, they are making the country a better place to live.
The case of Shreyans Paper Mills, in Punjab's Sangrur district is a perfect example of how non-governmental organisations ( ngo ) are working with institutions like the National Human Rights Commission ( nhrc ) to take decisions
