Udhampur, June 8: Drawing attention of National Green Tribunal (NGT) over the dumping of all city waste at Tawi River near Jakhani Udhampur, Former MLA & President Panthers Party Balwant Singh Mankotia today sent a memorandum to Chairman NGT in this concern. He said that it is the most serious issue as dumping of all city waste at Tawi river, Kheri near Jakhani Udhampur for the last 4 years is making environment polluted and putting general public at greater health risk. Dumping station is hardly 500 metre from city and adjoining the Jammu-Srinagar National highway from where the tourists all across India travel through which also makes mockery of "Swachh Bharat" in Udhampur.
Expressing deep anguish, NPP President Balwant Singh Mankotia said that since the waste from whole city is being dumped at Tawi River from where water supply is made to whole Udhampur City which is also causing environment polluted due to its burning adding that it is also creating health issues for the locals and especially tourists coming from all over India who mainly pass through there. Mankotia said that Panthers Party is deeply concerned over this issue and several protest dharnas were staged in this regard but nothing has been done yet. He said that the dumping of the waste at there is making the environment unhealthy for the locals which is violation of Indian Constitutional Provision of Article 21, which assures the citizens of India the right to a healthy environment, Mankotia reveals. Mankotia appeals to Chairman NGT to probe the matter expeditiously and make necessary action to the problem. |
