Environmental Negligence in Khuzdar: Marble Factories Pose Health Hazards

Khuzdar:the inactive response of environmental officers has led to significant concerns over the operations of marble factories and stone cutting centers. Situated near central highways and residential areas, these facilities continue to emit pollutants and noise, adversely affecting the health of local residents. The ongoing cutting and grinding activities not only contribute to environmental pollution but also expose workers to hazardous conditions without adequate safety measures.

Residents have raised serious concerns about the spread of airborne diseases such as eye irritations and respiratory ailments due to environmental contamination. The lack of facilities for workers exacerbates their health risks, with many suffering from occupational diseases related to their work in marble factories.

Repeated appeals to local authorities for action have gone unanswered, highlighting the plight of the community. Citizens demand immediate relocation of these marble factories away from residential areas and stringent enforcement of environmental regulations to safeguard public health.
