Panchkula, July 16 

Those engaged in the construction work in Sector 5 here have not been giving two hoots to the instructions issued by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). Dumping of waste construction material at the site has been going on rampantly despite the area being declared by the HSVP as no dumping zone. 

Even though the HSVP has put up a board behind a private hotel in Sector 5 declaring it to be a no dumping zone, the construction material is being dumped in the area. 

Rishabh Mohan, Head of Administration at Welcom Hotel Bella Vista, said dumping had turned into an eyesore for the area and being next to a five star hotel, it is giving sleepless nights to the hotel management. Dumping is being done despite installation of board signs, which prohibit the dumping of construction waste.

Mohan said despite writing to the concerned local authorities about this issue several times, the vigilance has not been stepped up. He said with the advent of monsoon, the situation has become more worse as it has become a breeding for mosquitoes and flies.

He further said the HSVP authorities needed to take immediate action to stop the use of the open space near WelcomHotel Bella Vista for dumping garbage and construction debris to resolve the problem.
