SITE Association of Industry (SAI) president Saleem Parekh has urged the Sindh Government to take notice of over garbage accumulation and lack of cleaning in SITE area and instruct the concerned departments to perform their duties. Showing his grievances over garbage accumulation and lack of cleaning in SITE - the largest industrial area, he said that due to non-performance of SITE Limited, Sindh Solid Waste Management Board (SSWMB) and Chinese contractor company Hangzhou Jinjiang, heaps of garbage are increasing day by day in SITE Area.
It seems that they are planning to convert SITE area into garbage dumping area, stated Saleem Parekh who was chairing a meeting convened to discuss single point agenda of solid waste lifting from SITE area. Speaking at a meeting with SSWMB and Chinese Contractor Company, he said several meetings have been held with SSWMB and Chinese Contractor Company but the result is zero as there is no system to lift the garbage on regular basis.
SITE Limited has also failed to lift debris of nala due to which industrialists are facing difficulties and on the basis of nala waste dumped outside the industries SEPA (Sindh Environment Protection Agency) is issuing notices to industries that if industrial wastes are not cleaned their factories would be closed down. Parekh asked the stakeholders why industries are being penalized while the concerned departments are not performing their duties?
He also urged SEPA to withdraw their notices and remarked that we fail to understand whether to run industries or reply notices issued on daily basis. Parekh requested SSWMB to clear the present junk at GCT College (Koyla Kanta Street) which has not been lifted since Jan 2019.
