Thane: Residents staying in complexes along Ghodbunder Road and in the Kolshet area can breathe easy.The last of the coalfired industries in this belt Shree Shanti Processorsis said to have announced relocation of its operations.

The continuous release of thick black smoke from the chimneys of this textile processing unit in Kolshet was proving to be a health hazard for citizens residing in housing complexes nearby.Citizen activist Satyajit Shah,a resident of Hyde Park,has been at the forefront of a campaign against polluting industries which used coal as fuel.Shah filed an RTI query and found that five companiesNarendra Silk Mills,Ravi Steel,Clariant,Colour Chem and Shree Shanti Processorswere the main contributors to pollution due to burning of coal in their boiler units.

Shah scored his first victory when Clariant announced closure of its operations in 2010,followed by Ravi Steel in January 2011 and Narendra Silk Mills in November 2011.
