New Delhi: A village next to Bawana Industrial Area in North Delhi, in Sannoth, is pricking it before suffocating. By the time you move beyond a large landfill, which has increased in the last 12 years, it crosses a smelly sewer that once used to be a clean natural drain to the Munak Canal, itching of your throat and your eyes to burn. Local people say this is new.Sannoth, once known to health-conscious people and yoga physicians, now lives with asthma inhalers, skin diseases and dyspnea.The region already has three plants to manage pile solid waste in Delhi, often sending smoke to homes, often sets. However, the villages have now been approved by the Union Ministry of Environment recently for a new waste-to-energy (WTE) plant.Villagers are protesting against the newly approved M/S Jindal Urban West Management (Bawana) Limited since December last year. Their concern exists. “When three such waste management facilities are already hitting us slowly, how can they bring another WTE plant? We are watching our loved ones dying, coughing children and often struggling to breathe while playing,” 70, 70, Rajapal Saini, a Sannoth resident.
People cannot do yoga anymore, cannot sit outside, cannot go for long. The monsoon, a season that will recreate ponds and channels once and increase greenery, has become a bad dream because an intense dishonesty smells air, ”Saini said, who retired from the MCD’s Sanitation Department and has since been dedicated to investigate and expose the environmental influence of waste processing in the area.The new plant is to come between the Munak Canal, which feeds half of the city with drinking water, and landfill – a private storage and treatment facility of dangerous waste.A trip by times of India A serious picture of environmental decline in the region and a community with deteriorating health crisis are depicted. Nevertheless, the environmental impact assessment of the plant (EIA) reveals these realities as side-step or downplay-especially the proximity of dense human settlements and the uncertain state of the natural stream through the project site.times of India Jindal Group to find out how they are going to address environmental concerns. However, no response was received despite repeated efforts.Despite continuous local protests, the project acquired environmental withdrawal. However, as MoefCC gave environmental withdrawal for the project on 18 June, the apprehension of a spike in the contamination eco loudar in view of the status of a similar feature in Okhla.“Our elders who died almost a decade ago were a natural death to die. Ever since that landfill began to grow longer, the garbage was being brought into trucks in the region, and an waste-to-energy plant was set up, we saw diseases attached to this and neighboring villages. Flocks of large colored flies, smell of dishonesty and itching eyes are common. Now that a new WTE plant, a large one has been proposed, we have no other option but to protest, ”Saini said.Munesh, another resident of Sunoth, pointed to his son, 23-YOULL AYUSH, who has an intellectual disability, and said that he had to face difficulty in breathing for the last five years, and the situation worsened every year. Munesh said, “Ever since the issue started, the seizure increased.”Similar concerns were echoed by 12 -year -old Akshita’s father Parvinder, who often restless and panting for air.“A few years ago, next to a natural pond, he started bringing and dumping waste to install a private plant. Soon, a natural drain passing through that site started receiving Markier Dark Water. The village air quality deteriorated. We remember that while playing cricket as children, people asked for this channel, who is a soldier as a man. Revealed concerns.“My wife died three years ago due to lung disease, and I received asthma,” said Brahma Prakash, a villager retired from DTC.Saini further stated that there were more than 80 trees in the proposed project site which was the number of villagers, and the project could affect the population larger than expected. “The EC was provided without proper fieldwork and avoided the impact of human life due to the already existing plants. Nobody ever visited villages. He also did not consider public views which were sought by the Delhi government. We also found that about 30 reactions in favor of the plant were from JJ Cluster, who did not even know about the plant, ”Saini said.When toi contacted some of the 30 JJ Colony residents, who signed a handwritten letter in favor of the plant, they claimed that they were misled. “Two people came to the colony and told that a water plant is being set up and I will get a job there. Therefore, I signed a letter supporting that factory. Later, we came to know that it is a plant to burn garbage, ”said Tafel Khan, a resident of JJ Colony. Another resident MD Sahid Alam tells a similar story.“The so -called public hearing was a complete distance away, a disorganized, oppressed Charade that used to move places several times, silenced the residents, failed to record any objections or minutes, and also ran away before registering their written submissions to the local people. To close it, several letters in the side of the plant, all in the same handwriting, highlight a copying effort to manipulate in public emotion. Above this, toxic emissions and ash from already existing plants and landfills have already skyrocketed the rates of diseases related to respiratory, kidneys and cancer among the villagers, so the approval of another innar here is nothing short of environment and health betrayal, ”said environmental activist Bhavrere Kandhari.
