However, the residents of the colonies have filed and presented representations before administration many times as commissioning of the new cement plants in the area be considered by the government, but all in vain.

But no authorities are seemed to be inspecting the plants as the officials have filled up their pockets by the cement plant owners said locals of the Rathian fangial but they have indirectly putted the future of our children's in dark as the environment is getting polluted which is causing a problems to the health of our children told a local resident Des raj
“State pollution control board be directed to visit the spot and conduct extensive study of the pollution caused by the cements plants and the existing cement plants be ordered to adhere to the preventive measures for controlling and abating the pollution.
