Industrial pollution, traffic congestion irk residents
Dera Bassi, December 12 Besides, absence of overbridges on the national highway have been leading to accidents in town. The poor condition of the local bus stand was adding to the traffic woes. Residents have been repeatedly demanding the construction of a new bus stand. They have also been raising the issue of construction of an overbridge on pillars on the national highway near the bus stand. Members of Kar Sewa Gurdwara Shri Nada Sahib had written letters to the Prime Minister and central ministry of road transport and national highways for the construction of overbridges at Dera Bassi. In response to these letters the ministry had recently started the process to construct an overbridge. Another problem of sewage discharge from factories is also haunting the residents. The sewage flowing into the nearby drains is affecting the groundwater, besides causing air pollution. Former zila parishad member Kuljeet Singh Randhawa said a drain, near Bhankarpur village, had polluted the ground water of other nearby villages and rendered it unfit for irrigation and drinking purposes. Many people have been facing liver related diseases due to polluted ground water, he added. Punjab Pollution Control Board XEN RK Rattra has, however, assured that steps were being taken to check the pollution in this area caused by various types of industries.
