Dr Musbah Rashid Humaid, Director of UAQ Municipality, said the plant was found carrying out a string of unathorised practices like recycling of plastic items, collection of wastes like cans, cartons and glass pieces. The plant had also been turned into a commercial livestock farm, he added.
He pointed out that the fire that erupted in the plant’s incinerator had exposed many irregularities which the authorities concerned need to tackle and prevent their recurrence.
He explained that the plant was in the business of making cement blocks used in pavement construction for the past 15 years, but had a licence for recycling and manufacturing plastic products. The licence for recycling of plastic material, too, had expired three years ago.
The civic body chief said he has instructed his officials to initiate stern action against the plant owners.
He announced that a set of new regulations will be enforced for new factories, including the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) certificate from accredited consultant. “Without this certificate no new application will be approved,” he maintained.
As for the existing factories, he said they will be asked to submit the EIA certificate at the time of renewal of the licence.
