Smoke with black soot is released frequently on daily basis from the chimneys within Broadcom / Wipro campus in Neeladri Road, E-City. Since the smoke descends directly on to the neighbouring residential area, residents are exposed to possibly toxic pollutants which pose a health hazard. The suffocation is so intense that residents have to keep their doors and windows closed. Concorde Silicon Valley RWA has brought it to the attention of Wipro and Pollution Control Board. The issue persists despite several requests made by CSV RWA in the past. Wipro well-known for its green initiatives, is expected to give a quicker resolution, so that residents can breathe in safely.
