Group of Concerned Citizens (GCC) led by its Chairman Khurshid Ahmad Ganie also attended the meeting and put forth their views and suggestions.

While speaking on the occasion, Tarigami said that there is a need to identify issues where we can intervene together for improving the environmental health of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Environment plays a vital role in people’s physical, mental and social well-being. We have to move ahead in the direction of protecting our environment to do justice with the job entrusted by the House,” he said. He added that protection of our ecology is a question of our present and future generations and we have to work collectively in this direction.

“The environmental health is our survival and denial of this fact will prove to be disastrous if immediate measures are not taken to ensure its preservation. It is high time that each one of us in JK realize that the environment is our collective responsibility and everyone has a role to play in preserving and protecting it in every possible way with a sensible approach,” he added.

“Whatever the limitations in the present circumstances but there should be no excuses in asserting ourselves towards protection of our natural resources”, he continued.

The members also condemned the reckless felling of trees from time to time and warned that the elements of nature are all inter- related and has an impact on our very possibility to exist on this planet.

During the meeting, Khurshid Ahmad Ganie and its other members emphasized that the government should think seriously on climate action plan in order to address the environmental issues confronting us. They also highlighted the increase in vehicular pollution due to increasing number of households possessing vehicles and stressed the need for strengthening of public transport.

It was also highlighted during the meeting that Environmental Impact Assessment should be done on all projects in JK before their implementation.

They also raised concern over the fast conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural purposes and said that once it is lost it becomes irretrievable. They also raised the encroachments and debris dumping in water bodies as another pressing issue that needs immediate attention.

“People should be sensitized about the health of environment for the survival of human being. Community driven efforts are much needed to stem the degradation of our natural resources,” they observed.
