What is happening
The High Court in Kerala decided that a factory which handles chicken waste can stay open. Earlier, the Pollution Control Board had told the factory to close down. But the court said it needs more time to look at reports before making a final choice.
Why the court is looking into it
- Officials from the government visited the factory to check the area.
- They wrote a report about how the factory affects the local neighborhood.
- The court is studying this report very carefully right now.
What happens next
The factory will remain open while the judges read the report and talk to both sides. Once they finish looking at all the facts, the court will decide if the factory should stay open permanently or be shut down.
