The MPCB asked brick fields, stone crushers and saw-mills owners to submit documents and appealed to the people of Manipur to cooperate with the board in checking pollution in the state.
Due to four brick fields in a radius of 200 meters from the water supply scheme of Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), which is under the flagship programme of Union government, their water supply is getting polluted, Fatherland Patriots Memorial Club secretary Olen Sapam said.
Secretary of the said JAC S Tombi Devi said that due to air pollution, the locals have started facing health hazards while the crop production is being reduced.
Growing demand for bricks amid rapid urbanization pushes consumption of firewood resulting in deforestation in Manipur.
