Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) has written to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai requesting the government to provide effluent treatment plants in industrial areas and uninterrupted power supply.
“There are no common effluent treatment plants provided by Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB), Karnataka State Small Industries Development Corporation (KSSIDC) or by the state government in any of the industrial areas or estates established by them. The industrial units have to treat their effluents up to the permissible limits/dispose of on their own,” the letter read.
President of FKCCI, IS Prasad has also objected to the recent decision by the state government to charge consent fees from industrial enterprises and organisations based on capital investment.
