Centre: Poisonous chemicals dangerous for valley
- 5 years ago
Loads of garbage had gathered across Srinagar city after the floods. The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) today claimed of lifting record waste during the past eight days. The SMC said 29,800 metric tonnes of waste was lifted since September 9 that is almost 10 times more than normal even as locals from several areas are still demanding lifting of garbage.
Regarding the health safety measures, he said the core workforce of the SMC had been administered “Tetnus Toxoid Injection and Hepatitis-B” and were working round the clock. He further said food and potable water had been arranged for the workforce, who were working at the SMC headquarters besides distributing chlorine tablets to the workers and among general public.
With the entire government machinery engaged in restoring services in the Kashmir valley, thousands of flood-affected people in the Jammu region are forced to drink polluted groundwater in the absence of mobile water purification plants.
The recent floods that destroyed infrastructure of 1,662 drinking water schemes in Jammu has left the population vulnerable to waterborne diseases as the government has failed to provide mobile water purification plants similar to those introduced in Kashmir.
