In the PIL filed in the High Court, the petitioners, one of whom was myself, it was explicitly requested that to control pollution the Smart City officials need to regularly clean up the roads of all loose mud and rubbish flying around and increasing the dust pollution in the City by using mechanical means.
It was assured by the IPSCDL officials that the same would be undertaken so that pollution which is hazardous to health can be brought under control. On many streets like the Parade ground road, Tonca to the Creek and other city stretches the work is completed but no action has been taken to clean up. Even bricks and debris are left uncleared.
False assurances are not what is desired and it is mandatory to attend to all factors that lead to dust pollution in the city and drastic steps need to be taken to control the effects of this silent killer. Hope the concerned officials get serious about this matter.
