Orissa State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) has warned National Aluminum Company (Nalco) over the frequent leakage polluted water from the ash pond of the company’s captive power plant at Angul.
The pollution watchdog cautioned that it would stern action against the company if it fails to manage its ash disposal system effectively.
OSPCB advised the aluminium major to supply the ash to the nearby coal fields in Talcher through pipe for filling up the pits.
In October, OSPCB had sent a notice to Nalco to stop using one of its two ponds as an inspection team found cracks in one of the ponds.
