The official underlined the importance of punishing the bigger players in the market who make commercial use of the natural resources rather than targeting the poor people.
"Those who use natural resources for commercial purposes should have all the required permissions to do so.

The pollution watchdog also ordered the electricity and water bodies to stop their services to the unit.
