A serious environmental and health problem has emerged in Jodhpur's Diesel Shed Road area. Black, chemical-laden sewage from factories is flowing openly, creating a foul smell and a strong stench throughout the area. This problem has made daily life difficult for local residents and passersby.
Toxic water flowing in the open, who is responsible?
Locals say that chemical waste from some nearby industrial units is being discharged directly into the streets and drains without any treatment. This water is black in color and has a strong odor, indicating the severity of the pollution from a distance.
People exposed to danger every day
Passersby, shopkeepers, and families living along this route are exposed to this contaminated water and its emanating gases daily. Many have complained of eye irritation, breathing problems, and skin allergies.
Health experts warn
Chest specialist Dr. CR Chaudhary described this situation as extremely serious. He said that the gases released from this chemical-laden water can dissolve in the air and enter the body through breathing, which can prove fatal, especially for asthma and COPD patients.
He also warned that direct contact with this water increases the risk of skin diseases, allergies, and infections, and prolonged exposure can worsen the condition.
Dual impact on environment and health
This problem isn't just limited to health, but it's also causing serious environmental damage. The risk of land and water sources becoming contaminated is increasing, which could lead to even greater problems in the future.
Demand for action from the administration
Local residents have demanded immediate action from the administration on this issue. They say that if it is not stopped in time, this problem could escalate into a major health crisis.
This toxic water flowing on Diesel Shed Road is a warning to the administration and pollution control agencies. It is essential to take immediate action against the responsible factories and ensure proper disposal of the contaminated water, so that the public can be relieved from this dangerous situation.
