Srinagar: The authorities have enforced ban on ferrying of uncovered construction material in vehicles in Srinagar to prevent air pollution and other environmental issues. Reports said that trucks, carrying the construction material, now cover the load with tarpaulins and canopies.
The people hailed the government endeavour. “Little things make a huge difference. Pollution levels have already on higher side and this endeavour will surely have an impact,” said Fayaz Ahmad, a resident of Barbarshah locality.
Last week, the divisional commissioner Kashmir, Baseer Ahmad Khan chaired a meeting here to review the traffic regulation measures and issues regarding decongestion, encroachment, traffic signals, violation of traffic laws and its regulation in the Capital City.
The Divisional Commissioner reviewed measures to effectively monitor and stop ferrying of uncovered construction material in vehicles. He said it was observed that the building material in the shape of sand, bricks, bajri, clay, dust, cement etc. are being transported uncovered which leads to the flying-off of the dust of the material particles causing air pollution and other environmental issues, besides also polluting water bodies in the process.
He had enjoined upon all the stake holders especially Traffic Police, RTO Kashmir and SMC to ensure that the material is covered properly with tarpaulins or canopies during transportation to different locations. He said violators should be dealt strictly as per the relevant law.
Additional Commissioner Kashmir, VC LAWDA, Commissioner SMC, ASP Traffic, ASP (Police Headquarters), SE R&B, Deputy Director Planning, officers from Regional Transport Office & SDA, Advisor for Traffic Planning & Designing to the Government and other concerned were present in the meeting.
