Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), under glare from the state pollution watchdog for contributing to the worsening air quality in Dhanbad, is planning to procure 14 sprinklers and three dust-sweeping machines before March.
The company will also set up a continuous ambient air quality monitoring station at Jagjivan Nagar colony within the same time frame.
“We were waiting for the model code of conduct to be lifted before initiating the tender process for procuring the equipment. The tender will now be issued by the end of this month,” BCCL general manager (environment) E.V.R. Raju told The Telegraph on Wednesday.
