Presence of other units may create noise interference: BPCL
The Kerala State Pollution Control Board (PCB) has rejected the claim of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited [(BPCL)-Kochi Refinery] at Ambalamugal that the noise level measurement by the board in residential areas close to the unit was incorrect, as the presence of other industrial units might create noise interference.
The PCB’s reply was filed before the Southern Bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) in response to contentions raised by the company at the hearing held on November 1 last year.
