It amounts to an assault on the people’s right to health, safety and a clean environment. HRF also calls upon the AP Pollution Control Board (APPCB) to cancel, without further delay, the sham public hearing slated for October 8, 2025. We believe it is a mere façade that only seeks to rubber-stamp a project that will cause irreparable harm.
