Kailash Giri from Chandrapura, Bokaro called up to share his opinion on the issue of Water Pollution and Conservation. He says that the main reason for water pollution is that the factories in Jharkhand dump their poisonous wastes in the water bodies near which they are situated. Giving an example he says that there is a Coal Washery of BCCL (Bharat Coking Coal Limited) that washes coal for its treatment and discharges the water containing coal impurities (without any treatment) to the nearest river source, thereby polluting the water. Similar instances are observed with Bokaro Steel as it discharges coal ash, oil without any treatment into water. He claims that this is the primary reason why all the rivers of Jharkhand are getting polluted. People who drink water from these sources fall prey to various diseases. He requests the government to take lead on this matter by strictly enforcing the rules and regulations in order to save water from getting polluted. He concludes his message by giving a suggestion to the government to ask the refineries and factories to re use the water within their plants so that the water that fresh water is not polluted.
