district administration dumping garbage near the venue of group fasting

In a statement issued today, PUCL has also strongly condemned the DistrictAdministration’s insensitivity in locating the fasting and protesting groups and individuals inBurha Talab at Raipur, which is also the dumping ground for garbage and dust collectedfrom the capital city by contractors and civil administration. In spite of repeated requests, theRaipur Municipal Corporation has failed to clear the vicinity from such foul-smelling garbagethat is the breeding ground for mosquitoes and more likely cause for epidemics like choleraand gastroenteritis. The PUCL and other participating organisations are deciding to makethis an issue, and get the ground cleared for all times. According to the PUCL, the scantregard for the democratic and peaceful protest demonstrates BJP Government’sauthoritarian tendencies.

The PUCL has also expressed concern that the District Administration has not yetconducted any medical check-up on the fasting individuals. It has also not provided anyprotection to the protestors although written information has been provided to the DistrictAdministration about the Group Fasting.
