Officials from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) intensified the crackdown on charcoal units causing pollution in Tiruppur district, with eight units sealed near Kangeyam on Wednesday. Sources in the TNPCB said on Thursday that eight charcoal units, in Alambadi and Pappini village panchayats in Kangeyam block, were sealed. These units were producing charcoal by burning coconut shells in underground pits, resulting in pollution of air and groundwater. Residents living close to these units have previously petitioned the district administration several times in the past few years to initiate action. The eight units have not been functioning since December 2020, the sources said.
