Introduction

A court in India stopped the Punjab Pollution Control Board from punishing a company called Trident Limited.

Main Body

The Board visited a Trident factory on April 30. The company owner changed his political party on April 24. Trident says the Board visited because of politics, not pollution. The Board says the visit was normal. They say they did not act because of politics. But the court thinks the timing is strange. The court says there is no big emergency. There is no dangerous poison. The company has 30 days to fix small problems.

Conclusion

Trident Limited has 30 days to fix its problems. The company can go to another court if the Board attacks them again.

🗓️ The "Time-Link" Pattern

Look at how we connect Dates and Actions in this story. This is a key skill for A2 English.

The Pattern: [Subject] + [Action] + [Date/Time]

Examples from the text:

  • The Board visited → April 30
  • The owner changed party → April 24
  • The company has → 30 days

💡 Why this helps you: Instead of using complex words, you can simply put the date at the end of the sentence. This keeps your speaking clear and simple.

Quick Vocabulary Shift:

  • Stop → Prevent someone from doing something
  • Strange → Not normal / Weird
  • Fix → Make something correct/better
