Protest against 'illegal' sealing of non-polluting household industries

New Delhi: Many working families are leaving the national capital due to "illegal" sealing of non-polluting household industries, Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken alleged at the party's 'Halla Bol' rally at Trinagar on Monday. Maken demanded

the government change the definition of household industries and declaring areas having 70 per cent such units as industrial area. "People are leaving Delhi due to

illegal sealing. If illegal sealing is not stopped, the condition of Delhi will deteriorate further," Maken said in the rally, organised as part of the party's 'Nyay Yudh' (Struggle for Justice) campaign. Congress leader and convener of 'Nyay Yudh' Mukesh Sharma said a delegation of the party led by Ajay Maken will meet the

Lt Governor for preventing "illegal" sealing of non-polluting household industries. A resolution was passed in the rally demanding that non-polluting household industries in Group A residential areas and Group A1 Village Abadi areas in Master Plan are kept out of the

sealing drive.
