Sambalpur Sewerage: Bury the ashes in the rocky place! What is the pollution control board doing?

Sambalpur: The contractors are arbitrarily doing the Sambalpur Sewerage Project. Roads are being dug wherever they can. Breaking all the rules. Now there are serious allegations that the ashes coming out of the workshop are being buried in the rocky area. People are bothered about it. Less than two days ago, there was a sensational situation on the streets of Sakhipada due to the burning of ashes.

It is worth noting that the Engineering and construction sewage works are half done and the company is sitting quietly. Some new tenders have been issued to polish the current half-work. The contractors who have got the tender, have been working arbitrarily. Witness the roads being potholed in such a way that regular people are facing accidents. Ashes were buried in many places during the night work, saying that the stones were being buried Which is what Supervisor Rakesh Naik, who understands the work, has admitted in front of the public.

Senior organizer Dulal Pradhan said. He refused to bury the ashes and the contractor kept burying them saying we had permission. If this is not stopped then people will protest if necessary, he said. May demanded that WATCO take action against the contractor. “We have given permission for stone pelting,” the Sewerage project supervisor said when asked. Ashes were not asked to be buried. If that is the case, action will be taken, he said. According to the rules, no one can throw the ashes inside the city. Therefore, the Pollution Control Board is being demanded to investigate and take steps in this direction.
