Subject: Health hazards and environmental impact of Taimoor Nagar Nalah Dear Sir, This is to bring to your notice the hazards to human health and environment that the Taimoor Nagar drain is causing. This drain is covered during its pathway through Maharani Bagh but becomes an open drain as it crosses C.V.Raman Marg and enters Taimoor Nagar from where it empties into the River Yamuna. The uncovered portion of the drain is about 400m long and inhabitants of the Pahadi slum clusters and Taimoor Nagar village adjoining this nalah , throw solid waste into the drain and also discharge waste from toilets which are not connected to a sewer line. It is learnt that various toxic wastes such as sulphuric acid/lead etc are illegally dumped into this drain, which has made the quality of air toxic which is even causing corrosion of various household appliances such as air‐conditioners and coolers etc in the vicinity. The drain is also a breeding ground for flies and mosquitoes. While we do not have access to any epidemiological studies at this moment, we are informed that the incidence of respiratory infections in the surrounding areas is particularly high. This drain has also been the subject matter of numerous complaints to the media ,concerned authorities and applications under the RTI have also been filed to ascertain the status of action. Until now nothing substantial appears to have been done to remedy the situation. We are however emboldened by the Prime Minister's ' Swach Bharat Abhiyan' and holding out hope ,request the Central Pollution Control Board to kindly order a rapid assessment of the health and environmental hazards created by this drain and it's consequences on human health. We are also enclosing some recent pictures of the area in question which eloquently support our request. We would like to point out that while the area under concern does not fall directly within the layout of this RWA, its impact does affect every citizen in its vicinity and hence our appeal for action. more
