The judicial commission on water and environment has sealed 15 sugar mills and issued warnings to multiple others for polluting the water.
On Thursday, owners of 20 sugar mills appeared before Justice (retd) Ali Akbar Qureshi, the chairperson of the commission. These mills don t have a water management plant due to which groundwater remains polluted.
