News Local residents oppose JSW cement plant in Punjab

Local residents oppose JSW cement plant in Punjab

India: Villagers from Talwandi Aklia and Karamgarh Autanwali in Punjab's Mansa district have opposed the construction of a local cement plant during a hearing by the Punjab Pollution Control Board, according to The Times of India newspaper. Members of the pro-environment organisation Public Action Committee mobilised villagers to participate, where they objected against the plant on the grounds of environmental hazards. JSW Cement is proposing a 6Mt/yr cement plant with two units of 3Mt/yr, and a standalone grinding unit on 19 hectares of land. The project must obtain environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change before it can go ahead.

Public Action Committee member Karnail Singh said “Talwandi Morcha was formed to mobilise people against the proposed project, and a seminar was held at Talwandi Aklia village on 11 July 2025 to sensitise people about the environmental impact in the area and on the lives of the people with the setting up of a red category industry.”
