Jammu: Seeking intervention, the Environment
Committee of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly today
asked the state government to take up issues related to
environment on priority.
The committee, which met here under chairmanship of MLA
Nizam-ud-Din Bhat, said that prior to submission of the final
report to the House, some immediate measures are needed to be
taken to save the state from economic and geographical
disaster.
The committee suggested that declining water table and
natural beauty of the state, particularly the Kashmir valley,
demands focused attention.
It was also suggested that guidance should be sought from
the Union Ministry of Environment and efforts should be made
to find out models, which can help the state in planning the
environment management.
