Residents of Angargadia Block Colony in Baleswar on Thursday submitted a memorandum to the district administration urging it not to allow any industry to establish its venture in the town area as it could cause sound and environment pollution.The residents said there was a plan for establishment of two private industries in the vacant patch near the DIC office. The IDCO has approved for setting up the industries on the patch, which the people had saved for the cause of the society.
A sign board had been put on the land from 2002 to 2012 showing the land was reserved for a software park. However, in 2014, it was said that an IDCO tower, a multi-storey complex would be built on the land, said Sibnarayan Mallick.If industries would be allowed to have their business enterprises in the human occupied areas, the atmosphere would be exposed to all kind of pollution casing health hazards for the locals, said villager Dhirendranarayan Deo.
