NGT Warns IOC for Generating Excess 'Oxide' than the Specified Limit
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has asked state pollution control boards to check the disposal of spent catalyst- a hazardous waste, produced by oil refineries. The committee informed that Indian Oil Corporation of Haryana, Mathura, Barauni, and Reliance Jamnagar units are generating more ‘Oxide’ than the specified limit. Reportedly, they were not packaging and labelling the hazardous waste properly as mentioned in the Hazardous Waste Management Rules 2016.
