News ACC accused of fly ash pollution

ACC accused of fly ash pollution

Written by Global Cement staff 12 September 2012

India: Villagers living near an ACC Cement plant in Orissa have accused the company of mismanaging its fly ash. According to the villagers living in Khaliapali, crops have been damaged by runoff fly ash created by a captive power plant at the nearby Bargarh cement plant. The resultant slurry has also spilled into the fields of the neighbouring villages of Banjibahali and Baragad.

Khaliapali villagers have accused ACC Cement of taking over 12 acres of land in the village and forcibly dumping fly ash on it despite protests. They said fly ash has become a nuisance in the village as it covers the houses and village water tank rendering water unfit for human use.

Additional District Magistrate Srinibas Kabi commented that the Regional Office of the Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) had noted the villagers' concerns. However, OSPCB Regional Officer S S Mishra said they had not received any complaint from the Bargarh administration.
