The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) provides technical services to the Ministry of Environment and Forests for implementation of the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The Board has the duty to improve the quality of air by preventing air and noise pollution. The Head Office of the CPCB is in New Delhi and they also have several regional offices across states.

Even though the offices of the CPCB are only there in a few states, every state also has an office known as the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). You can also approach the SPCB offices to file a complaint. You can try this link.

You can also call the Police and ask them to file a case under section 268, IPC,which relates to public nuisance. 2. Alternatively, you can also approach a lawyer and ask them to file a civil suit under section 91, CPC, in order to get an injunction for causing a public nuisance as excessive noise constitiutes the same.

You can file a complaint with the Panchayat or the local village council. They have the authority to address such issues and can take appropriate action against the owner of the sheep shed for creating a public nuisance. If the Panchayat does not take appropriate action, you can escalate the matter to the Block Development Officer (BDO) of your area. The BDO is responsible for monitoring the implementation of various government schemes and addressing public grievances related to rural development. You can also file a complaint with the Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Board (JKPCB). They have the power to take action against individuals or establishments causing environmental pollution and violating pollution control laws. When filing a complaint, it is advisable to provide supporting evidence, such as photographs or videos, to strengthen your case. Additionally, you can seek the support of other affected neighbors to file a joint complaint, as it may carry more weight.

National Green Tribunal can also be apraoched through the official website of the National Green Tribunal. (NGT). The complaint can be filed as an individual, advocate, a representative of a law firm or NGO or as a representative of the Government of India.

When the proceedings are initiated, the NGT can provide relief and compensation as well as order return and restoration of property damaged and the environment of the area as per section 15, The National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. The NGT can also pass orders for compensation in the instances of death, disability, injury or sickness, loss of wages and medical expenses.

Legal action lene ke liye aap in kadamon par dhyan de sakte hain:
1. Shikayat darj karna: Sabse pehle, aap apne ilaqe ke police thana mein shikayat darj kar sakte hain. Plastic jalana aur dhuaan failana ek kanooni jurm hai kyunki yeh vayu pradushan ka kaaran banta hai. Police is baat ki jaanch karegi aur zarurat padne par aapke padosi ke khilaf karwai bhi kar sakti hai.
2. Nagrik Adalat ya Consumer Forum: Aap nagrik adalat ya consumer forum mein bhi shikayat kar sakte hain, jahaan aapko apne padosi ke khilaf kanooni karwai ke liye sahara mil sakta hai. Yahaan aap apne swasth ko pahunche nuksan ka hawala dekar apne padosi ke khilaf dava kar sakte hain.
3. Environmental Court (Pariyavaran Adalat): India mein kuch states mein environmental courts bhi hain, jo vayu pradushan aur dusre pariyavaran sambandhi mamlo par sunwai karti hain. Aap apne ilaqe ke environmental court mein case darj kar sakte hain, jahaan aapke padosi ke khilaf strict karwai ho sakti hai.
4. Stay Order lena: Aap civil court mein ek stay order ke liye apply kar sakte hain, jo aapke padosi ko plastic jalane se turant rok sakta hai. Stay order ek temporary order hota hai jo tab tak lagu rehta hai jab tak court final faisla na suna de.
5. Damages ki demand: Agar plastic jalane se aapko ya aapke parivaar ko swasthya ka nuksan pahuncha hai, toh aap apne padosi se medical expenses aur dusre nuksano ki bharpai (compensation) ki bhi demand kar sakte hain.
Legal action thoda samay le sakta hai, lekin yeh aapko aur aapke parivaar ko is dhuaan aur vayu pradushan se surakshit karne ka ek majboot tareeka hai. Kisi experienced wakil se salah lena zaruri hoga, jo aapko is process mein madad kar sake.

I am residing at Madhavapatnam village which is under Samalkot mandal adjacent to Rameswaram Grampanchayat and Sarpavaram, Ramanayya pet, Gangana palli gram panchayats.
Existing Kakinada Samalkot road road both sides edges were flourishing with dry soil flying dust while passing a vehicle on this road. Both sides of this road agricultural godavari canal was existed which is no maintenance by the Irrigation dept in keeping it clean. No supervision on these canals purely polluting. Madhavapatnam to Sarpavaram junction was purely damaged and six inches layer of dry mud formed on this road also fly to make air pollution while passing on vehicles through this road leads to lung cancer. Solid waste is dumping besides this road. One year back complained to local pollution control board officers. Simply arranged a cloth barricade. Besides this a Temple and educational institution suffering a lot and also public residing this area suffering A lot.

Necessary steps may be taken to clear these issues b y instructing to officers concerned and a copy of your letter to be submitted to District collector for information to take necessary instructions.

1. As a first response, call the Police and ask them to file a case under section 268, IPC,which relates to public nuisance. 2. In case the police is not responsive or taking your complaint, find a lawyer and ask them to file a civil suit under section 91, CPC, in order to get an injunction against the hospital for causing a public nuisance as smoke emission and noise constitiute the same. 3. If you wish to escalate the problem to a higher level due to further inaction from concerned authorities, you can alternatively file a writ petition (the Writ of Mandamus which is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties) against the GPCB for failing to conduct their duty in ensuring a pollution-free environment for residents around the hospital area.

मैं कस्बा टिकरी जनपद बागपत उत्तर प्रदेश 250 625 में रह रहा हूं हमारे यहां पर 50 कोल्हू आबादी से सटे होने के कारण ध्वनि वायु व जल प्रदूषण करते हैं राष्ट्रीय हरित अधिकरण के आदेश अनुसार यह औद्योगिक इकाइयां आबादी से दूर होनी चाहिए लेकिन आबादी से सटीहोने के कारण सांस लेना भी दुबार हो जाता है इन कोल्हू के बीच में एक कन्या इंटर कॉलेज है जहां की छात्राओं को शिक्षण कार्य व सांस लेने में काफी कठिनाइयों होती है

Alka Manral

October 21, 2024

मैं आपकी चिंता को समझती हूँ और आपकी स्थिति से पूरी तरह सहमत हूँ। कसबा तिकरी में तेल मिलों से उत्पन्न प्रदूषण वाकई में एक गंभीर समस्या है, जो हम सभी के स्वास्थ्य और जीवन की गुणवत्ता को प्रभावित कर रही है।

इस मुद्दे के समाधान के लिए हमें एक साथ मिलकर कार्य करना होगा। मेरा सुझाव है कि हम सबसे पहले एक “स्वच्छ कसबा तिकरी समिति” का गठन करें। इसमें हमारे पड़ोसी और गर्ल्स इंटर कॉलेज के प्रबंधन को भी शामिल करना चाहिए। हमें प्रदूषण के प्रभावों का विस्तृत दस्तावेजीकरण करना होगा – फोटो, वीडियो, और स्वास्थ्य रिपोर्ट्स के साथ।

अगला कदम होगा सरकारी स्तर पर कार्रवाई। मैंने कुछ महत्वपूर्ण लिंक्स एकत्र किए हैं जो हमारी मदद कर सकते हैं:

1.⁠ ⁠उत्तर प्रदेश प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड (UPPCB): http://www.uppcb.com/
यहाँ हम ऑनलाइन शिकायत दर्ज कर सकते हैं।
2.⁠ ⁠राष्ट्रीय हरित अधिकरण (NGT): https://greentribunal.gov.in/
यह हमें NGT के आदेशों के बारे में जानकारी देगा।
3.⁠ ⁠उत्तर प्रदेश जन शिकायत पोर्टल: http://jansunwai.up.nic.in/
यहाँ हम सीधे राज्य सरकार तक अपनी बात पहुँचा सकते हैं।
4.⁠ ⁠केंद्रीय प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड की वायु गुणवत्ता निगरानी: https://app.cpcbccr.com/AQI_India/
यह हमारे क्षेत्र की वायु गुणवत्ता की जानकारी देगा।
5.⁠ ⁠पर्यावरण संरक्षण अधिनियम: https://moef.gov.in/en/acts-rules-notifications-3/
यह हमें हमारे अधिकारों के बारे में बताएगा।

इन संसाधनों का उपयोग करके, हम अपनी शिकायत को मजबूत कर सकते हैं। साथ ही, हमें स्थानीय अधिकारियों, विधायक और सांसद से भी मिलना चाहिए। अगर 30 दिनों में कोई कार्रवाई नहीं होती, तो हम कानूनी रास्ता अपना सकते हैं, जैसे इलाहाबाद उच्च न्यायालय में जनहित याचिका दायर करना।

मीडिया और सोशल मीडिया का उपयोग करके हम इस मुद्दे पर जन-जागरूकता भी फैला सकते हैं। साथ ही, तेल मिल मालिकों से बातचीत करके उन्हें प्रदूषण नियंत्रण उपाय अपनाने या मिलों को स्थानांतरित करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित कर सकते हैं।

याद रखें, स्वच्छ पर्यावरण हमारा अधिकार है। यह लड़ाई लंबी हो सकती है, लेकिन हमें धैर्य और दृढ़ता बनाए रखनी होगी। मुझे विश्वास है कि हम सब मिलकर इस समस्या का समाधान निकाल सकते हैं और अपने क्षेत्र में एक स्वस्थ वातावरण सुनिश्चित कर सकते हैं।अगर आपको कोई और जानकारी या मदद चाहिए, तो मुझे बताइए। मैं हमेशा आपके साथ हूँ।

You can easily follow any of the procedure mentioned below to prevent your neighbor from causing such actions;
1. File a Police complaint in the nearest police station for public nuisance against such person under s.268 of IPC.
2. You can approach the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) in their state or visit the website to file a complaint for air pollution. You can easily find the website of your respective state and register a complaint here- (https://cpcb.nic.in/spcbs-pccs/). The State Pollution Control Boards have the power to approach a court for restraining your neighbor from causing harm to your family by burning plastic and causing air pollution.
3. You can also approach the Magistrate to file a case for remedy against public nuisance with the help of a lawyer. The Magistrate can ask your neighbor to stop continuing such activities which cause a health hazard to your family as well as other members of the area.

इस स्थिति के लिए भारतीय कानून के अनुसार कुछ महत्वपूर्ण बिंदु हैं:

1. वायु प्रदूषण: आपके पड़ोसी की गतिविधि वायु प्रदूषण (रोकथाम और नियंत्रण) अधिनियम, 1981 के तहत वायु प्रदूषण का कारण बन सकती है। यह अधिनियम वायु की गुणवत्ता को बनाए रखने और वायु प्रदूषण को रोकने, नियंत्रित करने और कम करने का प्रयास करता है।

2. सार्वजनिक उपद्रव: यह गतिविधि भारतीय दंड संहिता की धारा 268 के तहत ‘सार्वजनिक उपद्रव’ के रूप में भी माना जा सकता है, जो किसी भी कार्य को अपराध मानती है जो आम जनता या पड़ोस के लोगों के लिए चोट, खतरा या परेशानी का कारण बनता है।

3. स्थानीय नियम: कई शहरों और नगर पालिकाओं में खुले में जलाने या अत्यधिक धुआं पैदा करने वाली गतिविधियों पर प्रतिबंध लगाने वाले विशिष्ट उपनियम हैं।

आप निम्नलिखित कदम उठा सकते हैं:

1. पहले अपने पड़ोसी से बात करें और उन्हें इस समस्या के बारे में बताएं। शायद वे इसके प्रभाव से अनजान हों।

2. यदि वे सहयोग नहीं करते हैं, तो आप अपने स्थानीय नगर निगम या नगर पालिका कार्यालय में शिकायत दर्ज कर सकते हैं।

3. यदि समस्या बनी रहती है, तो आप स्थानीय पुलिस स्टेशन में शिकायत दर्ज करा सकते हैं।

4. गंभीर मामलों में, आप राज्य प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड को भी सूचित कर सकते हैं।

5. यदि कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की जाती है, तो आप न्यायालय में जनहित याचिका दायर करने पर विचार कर सकते हैं।

याद रखें कि कानूनी कार्रवाई अंतिम उपाय होना चाहिए। आमतौर पर, बातचीत और मध्यस्थता के माध्यम से ऐसी समस्याओं का समाधान किया जा सकता है।

यदि आपने भारत में वायु प्रदूषण के बारे में जिलाधिकारी को शिकायत की है और उन्होंने शिकायत को प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड को सुनाया है लेकिन आपकी शिकायत अभी भी सुनी नहीं जा रही है, तो आप और कदम उठा सकते हैं। सूचना का अधिकार (RTI) अधिनियम, 2005 में आप जानकारी प्राप्त करने के लिए एक आरटीआई आवेदन दाखिल कर सकते हैं जिसमें आप अपनी शिकायत की स्थिति और प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड द्वारा की जाने वाली कार्रवाई के बारे में जान सकते हैं।
यदि आपको लगता है कि आपकी शिकायत पर पर्याप्त ध्यान नहीं दिया जा रहा है, तो आप एनजीटी की ओर जा सकते हैं, जो पर्यावरण संरक्षण और संरक्षण से संबंधित मामलों पर अधिकार रखती है।
यदि वायु प्रदूषण मामला जनस्वास्थ्य और पर्यावरण को खतरा पैदा करता है, तो आप सही न्यायालय में एक पीआईएल दाखिल कर सकते हैं जिसमें न्यायिक हस्तक्षेप की मांग की जा सकती है।
इन प्रावधानों और रास्तों का उपयोग करके, आप अपनी शिकायत को बढ़ावा दे सकते हैं और अपने क्षेत्र में वायु प्रदूषण को कम करने के लिए प्रयास कर सकते हैंI

Nyaaya

Here are the steps you can take:

For a DTPC layout approved area which is an upcoming area the planned development is achieved through approval of layouts and by regulating the developments through building rules and zoning regulations and approval of industrial institutions.

The Central Pollution Control Board can be approached with a formal complain regarding improper management of bio-medical waste by the Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facilities which is in question here. They need to follow provisions of Bio-medical Waste Management Rules, 2016 (BMWM Rules, 2016).

CPCB will issue notices to the concerned HCFs located in your location and subsequently if found in violation the factory will be fined appropriately.
CPCB can also issue directions under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 along with imposition of Environmental Compensation charges against the factory.
If not CPCB you can approach the pollution control board of your concerned state with a similar complaint.

The Ministry of Environment and Forest has made it mandatory to obtain environmental clearances for construction projects having covered built-up area greater than 20,000 sq.m.

Indian Government has also set forth guidelines and made it mandatory for construction site owners to implement dust preventive measures in order to minimize the impact on environment. Here are few of them –

Construction material at the site and on the vehicles that carry them should be properly covered.
Keeping the ground at construction sites wet to let the dust settle and inhibit it from spreading.
Setting barriers around construction site and covering mounds of sand with dust barrier sheets.
The construction companies are being asked to submit reports on the current status of construction and steps being taken by them to comply with the ministry of environment and forests guidelines, 2010, on prevention of dust and garbage accumulation on their construction sites
Littering or obstruction to public drains, water bodies, traffic and direct dumping of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in landfill sites should not be done.
According to the C&D Waste Management Rules, 2016. The system should contain proper collection of segregated C&D waste from the generator, proper transportation of waste, storage of waste followed by proper processing of waste into recycled or reusable products that have market value and where minimal rejects are produced which get disposed in designated landfills.

The law says that running such a commercial business in a residential area is not permitted. It is also against the law to pollute the environment and cause public nuisance. You can file a formal complaint to the Municipal Corporation highlighting all the problems and providing evidence like videos and photos. Keep following up until they take action. Approach the Traffic Police demanding that they take strict action against the shop owner for causing traffic issues and safety hazards. Keep following up. You can also join hands with the PG and neighboring society to collectively raise this issue with the authorities. There is strength in numbers. If the authorities do not act, you can file a case in court asking them to enforce the law and shut down this illegally operating shop in a residential area.

You can file a complaint on the online portal of your local municipal authority or local pollution control board.
Additionally, you can also file a complaint under Section 268 of the IPC and Section 278 of the IPC. You can also approach the Magistrate to file a civil suit for a remedy against public nuisance under S.133 of the CRPC. You can contact your nearest Police station and register a complaint about air pollution under section 268 of the IPC which finds a person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who ordinarily live in a given area. Alternatively, you can also try a complaint under section 290 IPC which covers cases of public nuisance that fall beyond section 268 IPC.

You can also apporach the CPCB which stands for the Central Pollution Control Board. It is a body constituted under the law to prevent and control water and air pollution in India. It also provides technical services to the Ministry of Environment and Forests and runs the air and water quality monitoring programme to help regulate and decrease the level of pollution.

It has a complaint portal on its website to report air pollution in Delhi NCR. You can access the portal here.

An aggrieved person can approach the State Pollution Control Board office in their state or visit the website to file a complaint for air pollution. The State Pollution Control Boards have the power to:

Approach a court for restraining any person who is likely to cause air pollution under section 22A(1), Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
Obtain information about emissions from industrial plants, enter and inspect premises, take samples of emissions and send for analysis under sections 24-26,Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981

There are number of ways this can be dealt with.

You can contact your nearest Police station and register a complaint about noise pollution under section 268 of the IPC which finds a person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who ordinarily live in a given area. Alternatively, you can also try a complaint under section 290 IPC which covers cases of public nuisance that fall beyond section 268 IPC.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) provides technical services to the Ministry of Environment and Forests for implementation of the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Its main functions are to promote cleanliness of water in streams, wells, etc. and prevent water pollution. The Board also has the duty to improve the quality of air by preventing air and noise pollution. The Head Office of the CPCB is in New Delhi and they also have several regional offices across states.

Even though the offices of the CPCB are only there in a few states, every state also has an office known as the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). You can also approach the SPCB offices to file a complaint. These authorities have the power to issue a written order for preventing, prohibiting, controlling or regulating:

Any vocal or instrumental music
Sounds caused by playing, beating, clashing, blowing
Instruments including loudspeakers, public address systems, horn, construction equipment, appliance or apparatus which is capable of producing or reproducing sound
Sounds caused by bursting of sound emitting fire crackers
Sounds caused from a business operation, or trade, for example, business of manufacture of utensils, etc.
The authorities may give an opportunity to the person who made the noise to be heard and then may modify or alter the order.

SPCB can be approached to file a complaint. You can try these links.

You can also call the Police and ask them to file a case under section 268, IPC,which relates to public nuisance. 2. Alternatively, you can also approach a lawyer and ask them to file a civil suit under section 91, CPC, in order to get an injunction for causing a public nuisance as excessive noise constitiutes the same.

Search if there’s an online complaint portal of your state’s pollution control board or CM’s secretariat. Any of the above listed forums should help resolve your case. If you have not been able to resolve the issue with the interferance of GPCB, file a complaint to the Central Pollution Control Board directly. Additionally, you can file a complaint to National Green Tribunal on their website. Consider writing an application to the local ‘Municipal corporation’ or ‘Municipality’ offices. Usually, these offices accept complaints through email and telephone.

As a last resort, you can take legal action against specific neighbours (if identifiable) and/or local municipality office if they don’t act on your warnings, in the form of a criminal complaint under the Indian Penal Code’s Section 268 or a civil case under Section 91 of the Civil Procedure Code. If someone is causing disturbance or annoyance to the public, it could be considered a public nuisance under India’s criminal law. Alternatively, a private nuisance is an act affecting some particular individual or individuals, it can be claimed as a tort action in the city civil court.

2. An FIR can be filed at the nearest local police station under Section 268 of the IPC for causing public nuisance

You can proceed in the following manner:

1. If the ground being used by the neighbour comes within your private property then you can file a suit under tort law for trespass as the neighbour is placing objects upon your private land without any legal justification. You can further file a suit for private nuisance as the foul smell is infringing upon your right to enjoy your property.
2. If the land is a common property but the foul smell is causing a nuisance to other people living in the surrounding area and has turned into a common and collective issue then you can also file an FIR under S.268 of the Indian Penal Code for public nuisance.
3. In case of public nuisance you can also obtain an injunction from the court under S.91 of the Code of Civil Procedure to stop your neighbour from placing their fish drums on the land.

The main reason for this pollution is the nearby factories. These factories are not following the rules and laws made to control pollution. Write a complaint letter to the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB). This is the government agency responsible for controlling pollution. In the complaint, explain about the high air pollution levels and how it is affecting people’s health. Provide proof like medical reports of people suffering from cough, breathing problems etc. They will investigate the matter after receiving the complaint. They have the power to take action against the polluting factories. They can fine the factories, order them to install pollution control equipment, or even shut down the factories if they are not following the rules. They also have to provide a copy of their order to the people who filed the complaint. This order will explain what action has been taken.

2. राष्ट्रीय हरित अधिकरण (एनजीटी) से संपर्क करें: एनजीटी पर्यावरण संरक्षण और संरक्षण मामलों को संभालने में माहिर है। अवैध कोयला पकाने और उसके परिणामस्वरूप होने वाले प्रदूषण के खिलाफ उपचारात्मक कार्रवाई की मांग करते हुए एनजीटी के समक्ष एक आवेदन दायर किया जा सकता है।

3. जनहित याचिका (पीआईएल): यदि मुद्दा व्यापक जनता को प्रभावित करता है, तो हस्तक्षेप की मांग करते हुए उच्च न्यायालय या भारत के सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में एक जनहित याचिका दायर की जा सकती है। अदालतें संबंधित अधिकारियों को अपराधियों के खिलाफ तत्काल कार्रवाई करने और पर्यावरण और सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य की सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करने के निर्देश जारी कर सकती हैं।

4. उच्च पुलिस अधिकारियों के पास शिकायत दर्ज करें: यदि स्थानीय पुलिस स्टेशन कार्रवाई नहीं कर रहा है, तो पुलिस अधीक्षक या राज्य पुलिस मुख्यालय जैसे उच्च पुलिस अधिकारियों को शिकायत की जा सकती है। उनके पास ऐसी शिकायतों की जांच करने और उन पर कार्रवाई करने का अधिकार है।

आपके गांव में प्रदूषण से निपटने के लिए आप निम्नलिखित कानूनी प्रक्रिया अपना सकते हैं:

1.⁠ ⁠सरकारी अधिकारियों से शिकायत: सबसे पहले, आप प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड (Pollution Control Board) को शिकायत दर्ज कर सकते हैं। हरियाणा राज्य प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड (HSPCB) जिम्मेदार है, जो आपकी शिकायत पर कार्रवाई करेगा। आप अपनी शिकायत लिखित रूप में जमा कर सकते हैं, जिसमें गांव के लोगों की तरफ से हस्ताक्षर किए जाएं।

2.⁠ ⁠जनहित याचिका (PIL): अगर प्रदूषण का स्तर बढ़ता जा रहा है और सरकारी अधिकारी कार्रवाई नहीं कर रहे, तो आप हाई कोर्ट या सुप्रीम कोर्ट में जनहित याचिका (Public Interest Litigation – PIL) दायर कर सकते हैं। इस याचिका के माध्यम से आप कोर्ट से मांग कर सकते हैं कि वह संबंधित अधिकारियों को उचित कदम उठाने का निर्देश दें।

3.⁠ ⁠ग्राम सभा की बैठक: आप अपने गांव की ग्राम सभा में इस मुद्दे को उठा सकते हैं। इसके माध्यम से ग्राम स्तर पर सामूहिक रूप से प्रशासन को पत्र लिखकर समाधान की मांग कर सकते हैं।

4.⁠ ⁠स्वास्थ्य और पर्यावरण रिपोर्ट: आप संबंधित विभागों से गांव में स्वास्थ्य और पर्यावरण सर्वेक्षण की मांग कर सकते हैं, जिससे यह साबित हो सके कि फैक्ट्रियों से उत्पन्न प्रदूषण से लोगों का स्वास्थ्य प्रभावित हो रहा है। यह रिपोर्ट आपकी शिकायत में सबूत के तौर पर काम कर सकती है।

5.⁠ ⁠मीडिया और सामाजिक जागरूकता: इस मुद्दे को मीडिया में लाकर या सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर फैलाकर भी आप जनता और सरकारी अधिकारियों का ध्यान आकर्षित कर सकते हैं। यह अधिक तेजी से कार्रवाई के लिए मददगार हो सकता है।

6.⁠ ⁠स्थानीय एनजीओ की मदद लें: प्रदूषण और पर्यावरण संरक्षण के लिए काम करने वाली एनजीओ की मदद से आप कानूनी सहायता और पर्यावरण संरक्षण से संबंधित जानकारी प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।

इन उपायों से आप कानूनी तौर पर अपने गांव के प्रदूषण को नियंत्रित करने में मदद पा सकते हैं।

आप लोकल नगर निगम कार्यालय या प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड में ईंट के चिमनी के बारे में शिकायत दर्ज कर सकते हैं। हमारी पड़ोस में, लगभग 5 से 6 चिमनी हैं, जिनमें से 2 में कोई प्रकार का वायु फ़िल्टर या यंत्र लगा हुआ है, जो सफेद धुंध उत्पन्न करती है। हालांकि, शेष 2 चिमनी अत्यधिक काले धुंध उत्पन्न करती हैं, जिससे लोगों के घरों में धूल का बहुत अधिक भराव होता है और साँस लेने में कठिनाई होती है। यह क्षेत्र झारखंड के रांची में स्थित है।

अपराध:

पर्यावरण प्रदूषण: चिमनी से काले धुंध का उत्पादन पर्यावरण प्रदूषण में योगदान करता है और निवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य खतरा पैदा करता है।

भारतीय कानून के अनुच्छेद:

पर्यावरण (संरक्षण) अधिनियम, 1986: यह अधिनियम पर्यावरण की संरक्षा और सुधार तथा मानव जीवों, अन्य जीव, पौधे और संपत्ति के खतरों की रोकथाम के लिए प्रावधान करता है।

वायु (प्रदूषण नियंत्रण और निवारण) अधिनियम, 1981: यह अधिनियम विभिन्न स्रोतों से उत्पन्न निकासी को नियंत्रित और कम करने का लक्ष्य रखता है, जिसमें औद्योगिक और घरेलू चिमनियों सहित है।

लेने के कदम:

शिकायत दर्ज करें: अपने पड़ोस की चिमनियों से निकलने वाले धुंध के संबंध में एक औपचारिक शिकायत करने के लिए स्थानीय प्रदूषण नियंत्रण बोर्ड या नगर निगम से संपर्क करें।

सबूत प्रदान करें: संभव हो तो, चिमनियों से काले धुंध के निकास के लिए फोटोग्राफ या वीडियो जैसे सबूत इकट्ठा करें, ताकि आपकी शिकायत को समर्थन मिले।

फॉलो अप: अधिकारियों के साथ अपनी शिकायत को हल करने और चिमनियों द्वारा प्रदूषण को कम करने के लिए उचित कार्रवाई होने का सुनिश्चित करने के लिए अधिकारियों के साथ अपडेट करें।

कानूनी सहायता लें: आवश्यक हो तो, पर्यावरण के क़ानूनविद या संगठनों से कानूनी सहायता लें, ताकि मामले को अग्रसर किया जा सके और आपके स्वच्छ और स्वास्थ्यपूर्ण पर्यावरण के अधिकारों का पालन किया जा सके।

1) Document the issue by taking clear photos and videos that show the road’s poor condition.
2) Identify the authority responsible for road maintenance in your area, usually the local municipal corporation or gram panchayat.
3) File a complaint online, as most municipalities offer this option, or by calling or visiting. Be sure to include photos as evidence and request specific actions to address the issue.
4) If you don’t receive a response within a reasonable timeframe, submit a Right to Information (RTI) application to ask about the actions taken on your complaint.

We have a pizza joint on the ground floor. We reside above it. Their exhaust is right under our apartment window along with their AC outdoor units. The exhaust directly comes into our house and the AC unit noise is the for 24 hours as this pizza joint forums from 6.30 AM to 4.00 Am (22 hours).

The smell of food is always in our house compelling us to close all our windows. AC units result in a loud humming sound in the house at all times.

Society is Not taking any action in spite of our complaint.
Can I file FIR in police station.
Does this joint come under Pollution Control Board or Municipality.

As a first course of action, consider bringing the issue to the attention of your local ‘residents welfare association’ (if you reside in an organised neighbourhood or a housing society). If this doesn’t work, bring this to the attention of your local councillor or mayor. The contact details of these officials is readily available through online search. If this doesn’t work, then consider writing an application to the local ‘Municipal corporation’ or ‘Municipality’ offices. Usually, these offices accept complaints through email and telephone. Alternatively, search if there’s an online complaint portal of your state’s pollution control board or CM’s secretariat. Any of the above listed forums should help resolve your case. As a last resort, you can take legal action against specific neighbours (if identifiable) and/or local municipality office if they don’t act on your warnings, in the form of a criminal complaint under the Indian Penal Code’s Section 268 which defines a public nusiance. It says if someone does something or doesn’t do something, and it causes trouble or annoyance to a lot of people in a certain area, they’re breaking the law. It doesn’t matter if they think what they’re doing is helpful; if it bothers others, it’s still wrong. Or a civil case under Section 91 of the Civil Procedure Code. This section says that if there’s a problem that affects a lot of people, like a public nuisance or something else wrong that could harm the public, certain people can take legal action to stop it. The government’s lawyer (Advocate-General) can do this, or a group of people can with permission from the court, even if the problem hasn’t directly hurt them. This section doesn’t stop anyone from suing for other reasons if they have the right to.

We are located in Mumbai on a main road. A Pizza shop is taken a shop on rent in our apartment on ground floor. We stay on the 1st floor. The shop has installed a heavy duty air intake fan, It has no exhaust and there is opening in the wall for the same. the shop is below our bedroom. The smoke exhaust from the opening (which is below our window) comes into our residence above and there is a dirty odour all the time in our house forcing us to shut our windows of that room. They have also installed a Air conditioner whose two outdoor units are also located below our windows. The A/C are continuously operating creating a loud noise at all times. Our Society management does not allow a chimney to be installed.

The noise of the A/c and the heavy duty motor results in a loud humming noise at all times as this shop runs from 6.30 AM to 4.00 AM (22 Hours). The noise and smell from the shop is big nuisance as we cannot even sleep or stay in the room.

What remedy under the law do we have and who is the right person/agency to complain. Can we go to the police. This going on for 6 months. Our complaint to society management is not getting any response.

Alka Manral

April 26, 2024

It sounds like you’re rightly concerned about the air and noise pollution from Vedanta Limited’s pig iron plant in Amona Goa. Some steps you can take to address this issue:
Reach Out to Higher Authorities:
National Green Tribunal (NGT): The NGT is a central Indian body that handles environmental complaints. You can file a complaint online https://www.greentribunal.gov.in/ or send a written complaint by post.
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB): The CPCB is the apex body on pollution control in India. You can file a complaint on their website https://cpcb.nic.in/query-form1.php.
Gather Evidence:
Photos and Videos: Take pictures and videos of the graphite dust settling in your village and surrounding areas.
Witness Statements: Talk to your neighbors who are also affected by the pollution and get signed statements from them if they’re willing.
Medical Reports (Optional): If you or anyone you know has respiratory problems potentially linked to the pollution, consider getting medical reports from a doctor.
Raise Public Awareness:
Media: Contact local or regional media outlets to bring public attention to the issue.
Online Petitions: Start an online petition on platforms like Change.org to garner support for stricter pollution control measures.
Legal Help:
Environmental Lawyer: Consider seeking legal advice from an environmental lawyer specializing in industrial pollution cases.
Continue Following Up:
Goa State Pollution Control Board: Don’t give up on the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB). Keep filing complaints and following up on them. Request copies of any reports or communications between the GSPCB and Vedanta Limited.

Karnataka state pollution control board has given consent to operate only a residential apartment to my building. A local corporator is running commercial activity in the ground floor with a 7500 sqft teak wood furniture showroom which is against the consent given by pollution board and other authorities.

Based on complaint pollution board inspected and issued show cause notice for violations of consent to operate, but after that they are not taking any action, officials told us “you know who that person is? Why are you messing with him”.

The pollution board is even sending back the letters we sent to them. Can you please suggest What is legal recourse for this ?

Alka Manral

May 29, 2024

In the present case, you can take recourse to Section 268 of the IPC which deals with Public nuisance, but, you need to prove that the illegal act of corporator which is operating commercial property in a Residential building, is causing annoyance to the people who live in the building. 9
Additionally, if the said corporator did not take any actions, even after issuance of notice. Then, the complaint can be under Section 291 of the IPC.
Further, if the officers are not taking action, then you can write to the magistrate and he can take action under Section 133 of the CRPC.

Hello Legal Explainer,

I’m reaching out regarding a concerning issue in B Ward, where illegal factories are operating in residential areas, specifically to melt gold and silver using harmful acids. This poses significant health risks to residents, including my brother, who recently underwent surgery due to health issues exacerbated by the pollution.

I seek your guidance on how such factories can operate in residential zones and what legal steps can be taken to address this situation. Immediate action is imperative to safeguard the well-being of the community.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter

Sikha

Dealing with pollution, especially from large industrial operations like Visaka Industries Ltd., which manufactures asbestos sheets, can be challenging. Since you have already approached the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) without receiving a satisfactory response, you might consider the following steps, which include legal provisions and further actions you can take in Maharashtra, India:
Document the Pollution: Gather evidence of the pollution, including photographs, videos, and testimonials from other affected individuals. Record dates, times, and types of pollution. This documentation will be crucial in any legal or regulatory steps you take.
Legal Notice: Consider sending a formal legal notice to the company through a lawyer, specifying the grievances and impacts caused by the pollution. This action can sometimes prompt the company to take remedial steps to avoid further legal complications.
Public Interest Litigation (PIL): If the issue affects a large section of the community, a Public Interest Litigation can be filed in the High Court or the Supreme Court of India. PIL is a powerful tool in environmental issues in India and has led to significant court interventions.
Approach the National Green Tribunal (NGT): Established for the effective and expeditious disposal of cases relating to environmental protection, the NGT is a specialized body you can approach. You can file a complaint specifically addressing the environmental damage caused by Visaka Industries. The NGT has the power to order remedial measures and impose penalties on violators.
Contact Local Media and NGOs: Sometimes bringing media attention to your issue can pressure the company and concerned authorities to act more diligently. NGOs that specialize in environmental conservation and community health can also provide support and guidance, and in some cases, legal aid.
Engage with Local Government Representatives: Engage local municipal representatives or your MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) and explain the problem. They might be able to bring additional pressure on regulatory bodies and the company.
Community Mobilization: Mobilizing other affected individuals and forming a group can often lead to a stronger impact. A collective voice can be harder to ignore than individual complaints.
Environmental Laws and Regulations: The main statutes include the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974, and the Environment Protection Act of 1986. These laws provide frameworks for controlling pollution and can be cited in legal actions against the company.
Follow-up with MPCB and CPCB: Continue to follow up with MPCB and CPCB. Under the Right to Information Act 2005, you can request information regarding the actions taken on your complaints.

(a) You can approach Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or your respective State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) (https://cpcb.nic.in/spcbs-pccs/) to complain about the issue.
(b) Since mandate of CPCB and SPCB is to ensure compliance, for legal remedies such as to claim compensation for injury, you can approach National Green Tribunal (NGT).
(c) Alternatively, you can choose to file a suit under Section 91 of CPC against the violator.
(d) You can also file a criminal complaint under section 268 and section 278 of IPC for acts of Public Nuisance.

A hospital in the closed vicinity of residence have deployed a DG set whose outlet hose has been facing towards the residence side for years. Every time the generator was turned on, after a couple of minutes, one can smell the exhaust gas in the local residence even after closing all windows. Numerous complaints have been raised against the hospital over the years and finally when GPCB arrived after numerous complaints, the hospital raised the smoke vent only by a couple of feet without any consultation with the residence with no such acknowledgement of whether the problem has been resolved or not. Till date the problem still remains and the GPCB guys have callously refused to take any further action, while the problem is still unresolved and residents living in highly unhygienic environment. Please advise further on the matter.

As a first response, call the Police and ask them to file a case under section 268, IPC. 2. In case the police is not responsive or taking your complaint, find a lawyer and ask them to file a civil suit under section 91, CPC, in order to get an injunction against the hospital for causing a public nuisance as smoke emission and noise constitiute the same. 3. If you wish to escalate the problem to a higher level due to further inaction from concerned authorities, you can alternatively file a writ petition (the Writ of Mandamus) against the GPCB for failing to conduct their duty in ensuring a pollution-free environment for residents around the hospital area.
