An Open Letter to Authorities

Many of you might be wondering about this article and website. This platform has been created to raise awareness and convey the concerns of the people of BBN regarding environmental and public health issues.

Environmental Concerns

This is not the first time residents of BBN have faced pollution issues. Poor industrial planning, improper waste treatment, noise pollution, and water contamination continue to affect daily life.

Voices of the people are often suppressed — but this time, the community is determined to be heard.

About the Factory

The concern revolves around Eastman Auto and Power Ltd Unit 3, being constructed near Shahpur village in Nandpur Gram Panchayat, Baddi.

The plant is expected to manufacture Lead Acid Batteries and other battery types, involving hazardous chemicals like lead and sulphuric acid — dangerous to humans, animals, and the environment.
