Pahalgam July 28,2017: A private company KEI industries Limited New Delhi which has been alloted commissioned  to lay underground power cableing work in Pahalgam town is all set to carry out the digging should not using heavy machines JCBs etc. This will not only adversely impact this ecologically sensitive  area but will also upset the already precarious nature-construction balance here.

We urge concerned authorities to take note of the danger and ensure that simultaneous turfing is carried out and any malba/debris dug out in the process is disposed off outside the Pahalgam Development Authority PDA area.
The Chief Executive Officer Pahalgam Development Authority PDA must also ensure that compensation is claimed for environmental damage from the company and an environmental expert appointed to oversee and assess the environmental impact of the project.
