Illegal and Unscientific mining is crime against humanity
An open appeal to UP Chief Minister, Akhilesh Yadav, to reinstate an IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal, while withdrawing her
suspension order.
Sir…
I wish there will
be more IAS officers like Durga who has guts to take action against mining
mafia to save the environment. It’s
important to save the environment of UP
…. The reason the illegal and
unscientific mining of the sand and stone is crime against humanity. The recent
floods has caused devastation in Uttarakhand and also floods in Yamuna that had
caused much damage in the areas along Yamuna in UP and Haryana. These disasters termed as Man Made
disaster as illegal and unscientific mining of sand and stone had been rampant
in the rivers, seasonal rivulets, there was huge unregulated and illegal
construction in the rivers and along it. There was also cutting of the
mountains and felling of trees in a large numbers. As there was no check and no
monitoring of the environment damage. As a result thousands of people in
Uttarakhand lost their lives following damage to environment. Similarly in
villagers living along Yamun in Uttar Pardesh and also in Haryana also suffered
much loss following much damage to Yamuna triggered by the illegal and
unscientific mining.
Sir, Akhilesh Yadav……. An IAS officer, Durga Shakti
Nagpal, deserves to be honoured who dared to take strong action
against mining Mafia. Durga Shakti
Nagpal had been
working against the illegal mining and also registered over two dozen FIRs
registered against those involved in illegal mining of sand. She was raising
strong voice against mining mafia and also working hard to stop the illegal
mining which is urgently required to save the environment.
