A dedicated team, led by Additional Deputy Commissioner Bhagirath Prasad, has been formed to investigate air pollution levels in key industrial zones of Jamshedpur. The team visited prominent industries, including Tata Steel, Tata Power, Tata Motors, and Nuvoco Cement Plant, and deployed advanced air monitoring equipment to collect real-time data on particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other key pollutants. The objective is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of air quality in these industrial regions, which are significant contributors to environmental pollution in the city.
The team engaged with plant officials and environmental compliance teams to understand the emission control measures in place and their effectiveness in curbing pollution levels. The investigation comes amid growing concerns over deteriorating air quality in Jamshedpur, particularly in industrial areas where emissions from factories, vehicular traffic, and construction activities contribute significantly to pollution.
The findings of the investigation will play a crucial role in formulating effective policies to tackle air pollution. The administration is committed to ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment for residents of Jamshedpur and will take necessary actions to control pollution and enforce compliance with environmental regulations. The final report will be submitted to the District Magistrate cum Deputy Commissioner for review, and appropriate measures will be implemented based on the findings.
Residents and environmental activists have welcomed this initiative, urging authorities to take strict actions against violators and introduce long-term solutions to curb industrial pollution. With a proactive approach from the district administration, the city hopes to witness significant improvements in air quality in the coming months. The pollution control team will continue its inspections and monitoring activities to ensure that industries adhere to prescribed environmental standards, safeguarding public health and ecological balance.
