Ban Asbestos Struggle in Bihar

Note: The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report for proposed 300000 TPA fibre cement roofing sheets project of M/s Balmukund Cement & Roofing Ltd was submitted to Union Ministry of Environment & Forests. It has obtained environmental clearance for the proposed project.



An 18 hectare plot straddling lychees orchards and farms in Chainpur village of Muzaffarpur district is in the middle of a dispute. Balmukund Cement and Roofing Ltd, a cement and roofing company, is constructing an asbestos fibre and cement roofing plant on the land. Villagers nearby are opposing it because they say the company bought land from them on the pretext of building a farmhouse but instead started constructing the factory. The Chainpur villagers say the construction is illegal.
