Set to launch anti encroachment drive
Srinagar: The Srinagar Municipal
Corporation (SMC) presently all set to launch a vigorous anti encroachment
drive in Srinagar city has shot a letter to the CRPF to remove concertina wires
placed in several areas in order to facilitate a free pedestrian passage in the
city.
In its letter, to the Inspector General of CRPF Jammu and
Kashmir, Dr Shafqat Khan, health officer of SMC has said that besides being a
serious public health hazard as it is reported that same is causing injuries to
women and children and the elderly, the concertina wire is also becoming a
reason of defacement of many important and vital areas in the heart of Srinagar
City.
“SMC has launched massive anti encroachment drive in
Srinagar city in order to clear all encroachments in the Srinagar City and
during the said drive it has been found that at many places the concertina wire
is causing obstruction and hindering free passage to pedestrian movement. The
concertina wire has also become a serious public health hazard as it is
reported that same is causing injuries to women and children and the elderly,”
the letter shot by SMC has said.
Dr Khan has said that the concertina wire is also
becoming a reason of defacement of many important and vital areas in the heart
of Srinagar City. “It is therefore requested that in the common interest of
general public and in view of the inconvenience and a public health concern,
kindly issue immediate instructions to your field staff to remove the extra
quantity of concertina wire from all the prominent places of the city and in
future adopt a more humane and rational use of this concertina wire,” the SMC
letter reads. (KNS)
