Nalco pollution creates public anger

Throwing all environment and pollution related rules literally to its ash-pond, the Nalco authorities have hired trucks from private transporters to ferry ashes produced from the plant and dump it at places to their own sweet will. Result, several areas have been camouflaged into huge foggy balls. The trucks ferrying hundreds of tons of ashes dump the dusts at anywhere and everywhere. Naturally, the residents have to wade through ashes while their houses and even roads are filled with the unwanted dusts. Forget about plants, even animals suffer. Despite repeated pleadings when neither the administration nor the Nalco authorities paid any heed, the people were agitated to take to the streets.
