Taking cognizance of The Tribune’s report— dated November 10— highlighting the violation of GRAP Stage IV by stone crusher operators, RMC plants and illegal dumpyards in Nuh, a team of Mining Department and Pollution Board conducted a raid in Tauru block.
Surrounded by industrial towns of Bhiwadi and Manesar, Tauru stands as Nuh’s most polluted block, which has been struggling with severe air quality.
