the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The matter is listed for next hearing on December 13.<\/p>\n<p>The order came during hearing of a contempt plea filed by NGO SAFE alleging that authorities were allowing illegal operation of these units without license and in contravention of the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules 1989, putting lives at grave risk.<\/p>\n<p>The NGO had referred to UP government&#8217;s affidavit and contended that only two of the 35 distilleries had requisite license while the others were manufacturing ethanol illegally.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The industries manufacturing absolute alcohol or ethanol were not only operating illegally without the requisite permission from competent authorities, but also manipulating the actual total production, storage and sales figures of absolute alcohol causing not only huge financial loss to state revenue and also jeopardising safety of people and environment,&#8221; the NGO had said in its contempt plea.<\/p>\n<p>The NGT on May 9 had directed that no manufacturer will produce absolute alcohol without seeking permission from the Ministry of Commerce, Chief Controller Explosives and other authorities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is in view of the fact that under the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 and Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response) Rules 1996 as notified under the provision of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 such permission is required,&#8221;
