affected with the air and water

pollution caused by the

industries in Harohalli Industrial

Area. There are two tyre

processing factories operating

in the industrial area which are

causing severe air pollution,

smell nuisance and health

hazard to the public. The

existing unit of Maridi Eco

Industries at Gabbadi Village is

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system

will be implemented at the proposed

facility. Water required for the

proposed facility will be supplied by

KIADB.

Incinerator(s) will be equipped with

all necessary air pollution control

devices to meet the emission

standards. Also, the incinerator(s)

shall have continuous emission

monitoring system (CEMS) attached

with access given to pollution

control board.

The proposed Common Hazardous Waste and

Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility shall

implement ‘Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)’ system

and there will not be any discharge of effluents.

Wastewater generated from vehicle and

container washing, floor washing, air pollution

etc. shall be treated in in-house effluent

treatment plant. The domestic wastewater will

be treated in packaged STP. The treated waste

water shall be continuously recirculated to fulfil

water requirement of APCDs. Storm water

drains shall be provided throughout the facility

about 10 year back itself and

there are regular public

5 Kote Kumar, Member

Harohalli Panchayat and

District President,

Samatha Sainika Dala

The Harohalli Industrial Area is

becoming one of the biggest

industrial areas in the world.

However, the Govt and

Departments are not thinking

about the problems of the local

people. We had submitted a

complaint against Maridi Eco

Industries Pvt Ltd about 3

months back itself. However,

we have not received any reply

from the Department regarding

the action taken on the

complaint. Similarly the paper

factory, tyre factory, biscuits

factory and other units are

causing lot of smell in the area.

The team from Environment

Department itself has inspected

the existing Maridi Eco

Industries plant and directed

for its closure. Even after

knowing all these problems, it is

proposed to establish the same

industry in KIADB Industrial
