Chandigarh: Pollution Committee starts online services for ease of business

In order to facilitate ease of doing business and reducing regulatory compliance burden for waste businesses, the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) has launched an online facility for companies to share their annual return of hazardous waste, biomedical waste, e-waste, etc., along with self-monitoring reports of waste water, air emissions, noise, etc.

The CPCC has also launched an ‘auto renewal’ facility for issuing consent and authorisation certificates to all those applicants who have applied for the renewal.

NOC/consent certificate will also be a click away, with no physical verification needed. The consents and/or authorisations will be generated online immediately after submitting the application for renewal, reports The Indian Express. Earlier, this process took 45 days’ time.
