Prime Minister s International Affairs Adviser Dr Gowher Rizvi today said that industries are important for economic growth and development, but there is no excuse behind polluting the environment recklessly. Most of the pollution is coming from the industries, bound by government regulations to ensure that ETP (effluent treatment plant) is installed and operated, but they re not doing so.
