Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has given a big relief to those who are interested to set up small scale industries but have been shying away due to rigorous norms related to the environment. The pollution control board department of the state government has through a notification decided to spare units from taking no objection certificate (NOC) to as many as 156 categories including leather products, bakery, spices, dairy farms in rural areas, candle making, pickles, match, and flour mills.
A Dainik Jagran report has said that so far even small restaurant or coffee bars had to take NOC for air and water pollution from the state pollution control board, affecting mainly people in coming under Agra conservation region that included districts like Agra, Mathura, Firozabad, Etah, and Kasganj.
The small units in the districts were facing odds in getting the NOC, but with the new notification, small restaurants and coffee bars which can have seating arrangements for 36 persons need no NOC, said the report.
Further, handicraft units, aluminum, stainless steel, small units of brass, tobacco packing, copper wire, floor polish, hair oil and shampoo besides factories for domestic and kitchenware items will also not need to take NOC from the pollution control board.
