“Mountains are at the receiving end of the operation of big industries; environment pollution is increasing and now our actions depend on whether we want to be at the status of the extinct creature.” According to him, development is for the good causes of earth and human beings and the human life could face a grave crisis if timely measures were not taken for reforestation, environment protection and the protection of mountains.
“Impact of rampant industrial development has been seen on snow melting and Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Bhutan have already faced its consequences,” he reminded, underlining the need of collective efforts to protect the environment.
Expressing his concern over the culture of blaming, Minister Banskota said, “We, human encroach on public path, refuse to contribute a little land to widen the road and accuse the government of not managing paths properly. We chose the street to throw garbage and criticise the government for controlling pollution. Human should give up this culture.”
He spoke of the need of becoming self-dependent on fruits production, presenting an idea that fruits plants could be cultivated along the road sides. Lawmaker and former Industry Minister Mahesh Basnet pledged that there would be no lack of drainage, roads and drinking water in the district in the next three years.
The inaugural session of the campaign is named ” Public Private Cooperatives Journey: Healthy, Pure and Clean Road Promotion Campaign” was attended State Assembly Member Shashi Jung Basnet, Surya Binayak municipality Deputy Member Juna Basnet and environment campaigner Chandra Krishna Shrestha among others.
