What nonsense is this! The entire area opposite to Carbyn’s Cove beach (quarry belt) has destroyed the flora and fauna. The dump yard of municipal department is always burning and emitting methane and other toxic gas, which is very harmful. The matter regarding crushers /quarry has destroyed the entire flora and fauna of around 4 sqkms. from Carbyn’s Cove area to Brookshabad
There are nine crushing plants in a cluster at Prothrapore, to which the ‘Pollution Control Board’ headed by PCCF has given an NOC. This shows the corruption involved by the so called protectors of these islands.
The people have lost faith in them. These are all gimmicks. A public institution in Protharpore which falls within 500mtrs from these crushers is dist Jail. It has made things so difficult for the residents to survive and the land available for agriculture has become such that no crop can be grown on it.
These people sit in offices and have meetings but the out come of this meeting is big zero. These people in fact take an aerial survey to asses the damage caused because of their stupid action.
The same Lt. Governor had come and promised the villagers that every thing shall be removed /shifted from this place almost 3 years ago but nothing has been done so far.
