A letter from India

摘要

Enforcing Environmental Norms and Policy Measures Prior to the last couple of months, non-availability of raw materials was the burning issue for the Indian pulp and paper mills, but all of a sudden the environmental issue has become the main focus. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been assigned to enforce revised norms and policies against the pulp and paper industries, the first phase ending within the stipulated period of March-April 2015. Theoretically the second phase, long term measures, has commenced and is to be accomplished by March 2016, the final term being December 2017.
