Beijing,Sept 18(ANI): Over 500 villagers in East China's Zhejiang Province protested for the third day against a solar panel manufacturer for emitting harmful waste, which has killed large amounts of fish in a nearby river.
Protestors forcefully entered premises of a factory, Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co, Ltd in Haining, and vandalized the offices before police arrived.

The organization ignored the warning to control pollution, Hongming added.
The company was not immediately available for comment on the issue, Xinhua reports.
