Basti Bachao Sangharsh Samiti Holds Demonstration at Durga Puja Ground
Jamshedpur: Residents of the Burmamines area in Jamshedpur are facing growing concerns over pollution. On Monday, members of the Basti Bachao Sangharsh Samiti organized a protest at the Durga Puja Ground in Burmamines, raising objections to the functioning of Tata Steel in the area and seeking remedial measures.
The committee demanded that steps be taken to reduce pollution levels, widen nearby roads, introduce regulated and organized parking, and lay paver blocks at the Durga Puja Ground to help control dust in the locality.
Former BJP district president Ram Babu Tiwari stated that a Tata Steel management team had recently visited the Durga Puja Ground in the Burmamines locality, following which members of the Basti Bachao Sangharsh Samiti expressed their concerns. He said residents are experiencing difficulties due to deteriorating air quality in the area.
According to local residents, cases of respiratory ailments and other health-related problems have been increasing. They attribute this to dust generated from unregulated parking at the Durga Puja Ground. In addition, frequent movement of heavy vehicles has reportedly led to traffic congestion, causing inconvenience to daily commuters.
The Basti Bachao Sangharsh Samiti said it has communicated its concerns multiple times to Tata Steel management and the district administration, but no concrete action has been taken so far. The committee added that if the issues remain unresolved, they may consider further steps in the future.
