The West Bengal government is about to install real-time environmental monitoring and suppression systems across its industrial parks. The initiative's primary aim is to strengthen pollution control measures and introduce transparency with respect to air and noise conditions within these designated zones.
The project, which is being handled by the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC), represents one of the most comprehensive, technology-based upgrades planned for the state-run industrial clusters.
Sources familiar with the initiative confirmed that the system will be introduced in five parks, namely, Manikanchan SEZ (North 24-Parganas), Shilpangan (North 24-Parganas), Paridhan Garment Park (Kolkata), Rishi Bankim Shilpaudyan (Naihati) and Haldia Industrial Park (Purba Medinipur).
These locations were selected due to their high activity levels and the diverse range of manufacturing units operating within them.
