Breweries shut down for flouting guidelines
Two breweries in the Mandalay industrial zone were temporarily shut down after they were found to have exceeded the specified wastewater disposal rate, said U Thant Zin Tun, assistant director of the Mandalay regional environmental conservation department. There are four breweries in the industrial zone, and all have to adhere to the stipulated Biochemical Oxygen Demand which sets a limit for wastewater disposal. The two breweries found to have flouted the guidelines would be temporarily shut down pending the submission of a report to the regional government, U Thant Zin Tun said on February 22.
