Sindh Chief Secretary Fazlur Rehman has cautioned the concerned departments that there can be no compromise when it is the question of disposal of industrial waste and contamination of water resources.
"No negligence or slackness in this regard will be tolerated," he warned and directed that practical steps should be taken for scientific disposal of industrial waste and elimination of water and environmental pollution through an effective sewerage system.
He was chairing a high level meeting at his office on Monday, which was attended by Secretary Implementation Nazar Hussain Mahar, Secretary Irrigation and Power Shuja Ahmed Junejo, DCO Jamshoro Khawar Jamil, Secretary Environment Mohammed Iqbal Dewan, MD SIDA Mir Shafqat Talpur, DG Environment Dr Iqbal Saeed Khan, DG HDA Tahir Ahmed and DCO Tando Mohammed Khan Ameer Ali Behan.
The chief secretary expressed sorrow over the death of a child and injuries to others after they got stuck up in poisonous industrial waste in SITE area last month.
The SITE Managing Director, Shahzar Shamoon, was directed to ensure that such incidents could not recur in future.
Fazlur Rehman directed that it should be made binding for industrial owners to follow rules and regulations for appropriate disposal of industrial waste with installation of treatment and oxidation plants to ward off any threat to human life.
