Jeopardizing the Health & Degrading the environment

Mohammad Yaseen


Srinagar CNS, Nov 25: The Environment of the Kashmir is degrading day by day due to the pollution emanating the Industries as well as vehicles. Khrew and Khonmoh are witnessing the high levels of pollution due to the Cement plants and other Industries which has jeopardized the health of Public in particular as well as Environment in general. The said industries in Khrew and Khonmoh are releasing higher levels of toxic gases in the environment.
It is clearly the mandate of pollution control Board to measure the rising pollution levels by these Industries, but ironically PCB apparently does not bother about their job rendering the people exposed to alarming levels of the pollution and jeopardizing their health and degrading the environment. Member Secretary, BM Sharma Pollution Control Board when contacted regarding the issue could not reply, which is on record and evaded the queries under one or another pretext and said it is the mandate of the State Environmental impact Assessment committee. It is irony then how the Pollution Control Board issues NOC,s to various Industries which ought to have been based on the report, which would justify whether these Industries are complying the norms as prescribed under various Acts whether the norms are met which ought to have been checked by Pollution Control Board before issuing NOC,s to various industries. It seems main mandate of the Pollution Control Board is ignored by Pollution Control Board Issuing Authorities and rendering the People at risk. (CNS)
