Speaking in a seminar cum symposium organised by "We The Human" - Forum for Nature and Mankind at Government Women's College Gandhi Nagar Jammu, Speakers including Professor Harbans Singh former Vice Chancellor SKUAST Jammu and Prof. R. Rampal HoD Environmental Sciences Jammu University expressed their annoyance over non seriousness of Housing Urban Dev & Local bodies Department in creating infrastructural facilities for solid waste management in J&K as per 2016 MSW rules, despite regular monitoring by the state High Court and the Supreme Court of India.
EPG Governing Council member Peerzada Fayaz Ahmad from Kashmir valley said that the status of Solid Waste Management is very poor in our state in general and Kashmir valley in particular. The Environmental Policy Group along with other groups like "We The Human" has carried on a vigorous campaign to impress upon the authorities and the public about importance of Solid Waste Management in order to prevent health and environmental hazards. It would be in place to mention that The Environmental Policy Group (EPG) filed a Public Interest Litigation - PIL NO 7 Of 2018 to make the Government effectively implement Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
Prem Singh said that around twelve nullahas carrying bad and stinky affluents of Jammu city are draining directly in sacred Tawi river from Nagrota to Bhagwati Nagar. A sewerage treatment plant is required immediately to be built up to pass first charge of these nullahs through the treatment plant. But this seems to be on last serial number of priority list maintained by planners & engineers of the Local Body Authorities. |
