The chamber of commerce and Industries Kashmir CCIK Seeks Accountability Over Brari Nambal Landfilling
Calls for Complete Removal of Filling, Restoration of Waterbody and action Against Violators
CCIK, has expressed serious concern over the alleged landfilling and encroachment of Brari Nambal, stressing that partial demolition alone cannot be allowed to become an “eye wash.”
landfilling had allegedly continued for nearly 15 days, raising serious questions about who brought the material, who carried out the filling and how the activity was allowed to continue without timely intervention.
“The PEOPLE responsible must be identified, the entire filling removed and the waterbody restored at an earliest calling for a proper investigation into the violation. CCIK further demanded that wherever offences are established, action and prosecution should follow.
Ccik said that the authorities must also examine any failure of monitoring that allowed the damage to continue.
Partially demolishing what was built after allowing the damage to happen is not enough. We need accountability for the original act as well as for any failure of monitoring,
Emphasising the need to protect Kashmir’s remaining water bodies for future generations, ccik said, “We need to keep something for our generation. Our children deserve to inherit clean lakes, wetlands and water bodies, not filled-up land and concrete.”
Ccik stressed that
Protecting water bodies, enforcing existing laws and holding violators accountable requires political will, administrative seriousness and responsible citizenship,
CCIK urged Hourable LG and the Hon’ble Chief Minister of J&K to take cognisance of the matter and called upon the concerned authorities, including Lakes Conservation and Management Authority (LCMA), Srinagar Municipal Corporation and Srinagar Administration, to ensure that the waterbody is fully restored and those responsible are held accountable.
