Jammu and Kashmir constitutes committee to look in functioning of brick kilns
Srinagar, Jun 10 : Concerned over the mushroom growth of brick- kilns, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today constituted a committee to look into all aspects related to their functioning including issuance of licence, registration, certificates by Pollution Control Board (PCB) and the Act governing this activity in the state.
Mr Omar informed the committee would be headed by Principal Secretary, Industries and Commerce, and would comprise Administrative Secretaries to Government, Forests, Revenue and Law Departments, Divisional Commissioners of Kashmir and Jammu and Chairman PCB.
The Committee would submit its report and recommendations to the Chief Secretary to formulate a comprehensive policy for this activity.
The Chief Minister said the industrial development could not be achieved at the cost of disturbing ecological balance of the State.
He underscored the need for taking corrective measures in industrial policy to protect the environment.
He further said even though industrial development was imperative for economic growth and well-being of the state, maintenance of ecological balance and pollution-free environment were equally important for sustenance of life.
Mr Abdullah asked the concerned authorities to strike a balance between industrial development and preservation of environment.
The Chief Minister was speaking at a high-level meeting held here to discuss measures to check haphazard and unauthorised growth of brick-kilns as well as to ensure that pollution control devices were installed at the Indus.
