Leaders of Save the Environment Movement yesterday demanded relocation of chemical factories, shops and warehouses from residential areas to safeguard the areas from fire hazards, says a press release. Speaking at a human chain organised by the movement at Armanitola, they also demanded a time befitting guideline and its implementation for manufacturing, marketing, storing and handling of chemicals. Though some initiatives were taken by the government right after the Nimtoli tragedy last year, currently there is no progress in this regard, they added.
