Chandrapur: No industry greater than the lives of people, said Guardian Minister Chandrapur Vijay Wadettiwar on Wednesday and directed the administration to stop all government soups and facilities to the industry which continued to lead to pollution control norms.
Overcoming the meeting held in the collectorate to review the alarming level of pollution, Wadettiwar said, “the industry operating in this district is only involved in making profits and playing with the lives of residents.” “Trees inside and around Chandrapur have turned black.
This is probably the only place in the world where the tree color can look black.
The severity of pollution can be measured from the fact that breathing billboards (artificial lungs), are installed in the city to measure Pollution, becomes black in just five days, “he said.
“The government is not against the industry, but this needs to follow the rules.
There is no violation of the law to be tolerated.
The industry also needs to think of people’s life and health, while gaining profits.
But unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to happen,” he said.
Said that many industries violated Norma, Wadettiwar quoted high pollution caused by West West West Mining (WCL) mining in regency and coal transportation.
“Those who handle coal Sidings don’t even bother sprinkling water before transporting coal.
Transport trucks carry excessive loads on the road with lower load bearing capacity,” he said and directed RTO officials to take action against such violators.
During the meeting, Wadettiwar also took the problem of industrial and coal mine which transferred the flow of the river and Nullah.
“Lift water and get money seems to be the only company policy.
Dying people, their lungs spin black, but nothing needs to be considered.
This will not be tolerated again,” he said.
The Minister is directed to institutionalizing the combined committee of income, public works, police and sub-regional transportation departments to curb pollution and control excessive traffic.
Head of all major departments and representatives of various industries, including WCl, coal washing machines, industrial gifts, metallic places, Bopani and others, present during meetings.
