CHACHOENGSAO, 6th September 2018 (NNT) – Authorities in Chachoengsao province have inspected a recycling plant for plastic bottles, after residents filed complaints over its alleged dumping of polluted water into natural waterways, but no evidence of such an act was found.

The inspection was carried out at the recycling factory of Okit Group Limited Partnership in the capital district of Chachoengsao, by officials from the Bang Phai Subdistrict Administrative Organization and the 11th Infantry Division.
