06. Shangla: Assistant Commissioner of Shangla, Dr. Hamid Siddiqui, has taken swift action against an illegal crush plant near Board Chowk, sealing the facility and ordering the Assistant Director of Industries to file a case against the responsible individuals and take legal action. The plant’s operators have been given a 24-hour notice to clear the debris accumulated on the national highway due to the illegal crushing activities.
Experts warn that these illegal crush plants in Shangla are operating without proper water filtration systems and other necessary measures, leading to increased air pollution and various diseases. The region’s natural beauty is already vulnerable to environmental changes, and such activities exacerbate the issue.
The experts urge the government to thoroughly inspect these crush plants and other machinery before granting permits, ensuring they do not contribute to environmental pollution.
