Tariq Ahmed Patlu, a volunteer working for Dal Cleaning said, “I have been raising this issue many times, as you can see, the biggest culprit that I currently hold responsible is the UEED (Urban Environmental Engineering Department) in Jammu and Kashmir, India, or. All UEED pumping stations discharge all the untreated water and all the dirt directly into them. If we just do one thing, convert these pumping stations into STP (sewage treatment plants) – we can save money.” 80% of the water body. These are the people, the department, who are destroying our water bodies. I have filed 80 pumping stations in Dalgate, take a video there and see how much dirt is coming in right in front of Zainakadal, or in front of Ansari Motors, or if you go to Navaidyar, Khanyar or near Zojilanger, you will see how much dirt is destroyed there, because we have paved the roads, because we don’t need roads or trails inside the lake, the vote bank was destroyed by Dal. On the one hand, the NDP did it. Some people say that someone else has their own story. But I want to say that we could not control the sewerage, and this department cannot do anything about it. They can drive motor boats, they can check the lake. employees who come here and completely take over like in the Netherlands or countries where there are water bodies. I want to appeal to the honorable Prime Minister – as he spoke about me in Mann Ki Baat, please pass this on to some private company, foreigners or big experts inside India, otherwise future generations will not be able to see our Dal.
