Question

iam want questions to oppose swach bharath in my school mock parliment

Answer 1

1. Sweeping and depositing the litter and dirt in the dustbins is the first step. What do the corporations and municipalities do afterwards? Waste is not segregated. Organic and inorganic wastes including sanitary towels and poisonous hospital/factory rejects are transported to the nearby countryside, dumped and burnt. State authorities deliberately bluff that it is fire accident. Toxic hazardous fumes are reserved for those who generate the least waste, while the better-off sections enjoy Swachh Bharat. Burnt and un-burnt wastes lie there to destroy the environment and water sources. The procedure adopted to bury the waste in landfill is anything except scientific. This faulty land-filled waste leaches into the land and water sources in course of time to destroy the voiceless. Please name one town or city in India that neutralises the municipal solid waste properly. 2. Flush-out toilet is unsuitable for India as it is a water killer. Building and maintaining millions of such toilets are economically unviable and unsustainable. 3. What happens to the human waste collected in individual and municipal septic tanks? Please identify one town or city in India that treats and disposes the human waste properly. Nearest water source is the dumping outlet. 4. Chemical agriculture aka Green Revolution is the single major source to poison our land, water and air across the length and breadth of our country. 5. Untreated toxic industrial effluents discharged into the nearest river or nallah has killed almost all our water sources. 6. What are the steps contemplated to tackle the above two mega wastes in the much tom-tomed mission? It is almost at the bursting point now. 7. We have limited resources. Aping the affluent nations, we want to make more and more goods and consume/use them. Make in India campaign and the media's frenzy for using more and more consumer goods and Swachh Bharat cannot go together. 8. Fresh water requirement for manufacturing a few goods is listed: Car - 3/4 lakh litres each; Sugar - 20,000 litres/kg; Egg - 196 litres each; Cola - 70 litres/litre; beer - 155 litres/litre, garment - 45 litres/kg, leather - 150 litres/kg. Less we talk about the thermal and nuclear power plants and the intensive fish culturing industry, the better. Needless to say that the water released after manufacturing or processing the above is not only not potable but dangerously poisonous. The untreated effluents are let out into the water sources without an ounce of guilt. Corporate houses, government owned enterprises to tiny industries are in fierce competition in this monumental crime duly abetted by the state. 9. Greedy businessmen import container after container of industrial and municipal wastes from Lisbon, London etc to throw them across our land. Tuticorin port is notorious for this crime. Will Swachh Bharat Abhiyan look at this direction? 10. The most lethal waste is the spent fuel/waste from nuclear installations and hospitals (X-ray). The irradiated muck's active half-life time is of the order of 35,000 years. This is going to affect several thousands of our future generations. How do you imagine a Swachh Bharat without knowing how to treat and neutralise the most dangerous waste known to man?? 11. Indian Railway is soiling the length and breadth of this nation by steadfastly sticking to the dry latrines and consequent manual scavenging banned by a 1993 law. While Modi envisages a Swachh Bharat by 2019, Railway authorities are informing the National Human Rights Commission that all dry latrines will be replaced by 2022. Is it not a punishable crime perpetrated by the state? We are bombarded by the video and still photographs of Uma Bharti, Smriti Irani, Hemamalini and scores of other classy ladies sweeping the non-existent waste on the highways. Will they care to join the Dalit sisters engaged in all railway stations to handle human waste? 12. Clean Ganga is a catch word in the present government. Can you clean Ganga without stopping the sewage from hundreds of towns, cities, panachayats and factories flowing into the holy river? Along with the human waste, the poisonous effluents from ''Made-in-India'' factories including the Banarsi silk industry threaten the very survival of the river. How is the long handle broom & co going to prevent this sacrilege ?
