Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has taken decisive action against environmental violations in the Kakinada Vaklapudi Industrial Area, focusing on two critical environmental concerns.
Industrial Pollution Investigation
Pawan Kalyan directed the Pollution Control Board (PCB) to conduct thorough inspections of industries releasing foul odors along the Kakinada coastal region, with specific emphasis on Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd
Key actions include:
- Immediate inquiry into severe air pollution complaints
- Direct communication with PCB Chairman Krishnaiah and Kakinada Regional Officer Shankar Rao
- Comprehensive assessment of pollution control regulation compliance
Key Findings
PCB officials discovered that Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd. was using raw materials that violated environmental regulations, resulting in the release of strong, foul-smelling gases into the atmosphere
Wildlife Protection Measures
In a parallel environmental initiative, Pawan Kalyan also instructed Forest Department officials to investigate the mysterious deaths of Olive Ridley turtles along Kakinada beach. He specifically directed Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Chiranjeevi Chaudhary to:
- Investigate the causes of turtle deaths
- Conduct a comprehensive study on wildlife protection
- Take appropriate action against responsible parties
The Deputy CM’s proactive approach underscores the Andhra Pradesh government’s commitment to environmental protection and public health.
