Earlier the Pollution Control Board (PCB) in its report submitted before the Court said that five hotels in category A at Gulmarg which were sealed under High Court directions, have sought permission to set up STPs, out of which two hotels have already set up the STPs.
The Court has however, allowed these hotels to operate for a period of one month during which the PCB will ascertain efficiency of such STPs.
According to KNS, the court however directed that any STP/Soakage pit, which does not conform to the rules and norms be stopped and such hotels be sealed again.
