Principal Bench of National Green Tribunal has directed the Telangana State Pollution Control Board to comply with the recommendations and observations made by a Joint Committee, in respect of few units, which are found to be discharging untreated effluents, adversely affecting the water quality and availability of ground water and drinking water to the inhabitants of the surrounding area.
A bench led by Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said "The compliance of the observations in the recommendations may be ensured. Since all the three units are 'red category' units, the compliance of environmental norms may be regularly monitored. Inspections be carried out at least once every three months."

The report acknowledged the violation of environmental norms by Frigerio Conserva Allana Ltd, Algole Road, Zahirabad, Piramal Enterprises Ltd.
