What could seem to provide a major relief to the citizens living around industrial zones in Hyderabad, the Telangana government has decided to shift the polluting factories outside the limits of outer ring road by next year-end. The Telangana State government has fixed eighteen month deadline for industries functioning in the city to shift outside the OuterRing Road limits. About 1,068 polluting units have to shift within a year and the rest by December 2017.
The move is aimed at checking environmental pollution caused by these industries. The state government is firm on shifting these industries in the interest of public health and environment and to increase the quality of life in the city. The government offered incentives to encourage these industries to move out of city limits. Telangana's industries minister K. Taraka Rama Rao on Saturday held a meeting with the representatives of the Bulk Drugs Manufacturers' Association (BDMA) and assured them of providing modern infrastructure facilities at the proposed Integrated Pharma City near Hyderabad.
