Not ready for any compromise with dyers Stance conveyed to government Tirupur: Farmers living alongside River Noyyal, who faced the brunt of the indiscriminate effluent discharge from dyeing units, are firm on their decision that they would not be ready for any compromise with dyers other than ensuring of zero liquid discharge (ZLD). A.P. Kandasamy, president of Noyyal River Ayacutdars Protection Association (NRAPA), and on whose contempt petitions the Madras High Court ordered closure of all 754 dyeing and bleaching units in January, told The Hindu that the farmers had conveyed this stance to the government recently through Industries Minister C. Shanmugavelu.
