The Pollution Control Board has sealed a factory at Tiwari Pur that discarded its polluted waste water into the Ganga.

The dog food manufacturing unit was shut down by authorities because it polluted the Ganga with pieces of flesh and bones, used for manufacturing its products, officials said.

The action was taken after receiving various complains that the factory discharged its waste material into open drains through which it entered the Ganga, Radheyshyam, district officer at the Pollution Control Board told PTI.

While raiding the unit, the officials found that it was full of filth, he said, adding, waste products were not disposed properly but thrown carelessly around the factory's premises and in open drains.

A detailed report has been sent today to the district administration and action will be taken against owners of the unit after receiving further orders, he said.

Authorities have been taking strict action against those industrial units which have been disposing their waste into the Ganga. About eight tanneries were raided and sealed last month in this connection, he said.
