Near about 30000 cows will lost their food sources and water. only 250 persons will get employment in this cement plant out of which only 70% persons i.e. 175 persons from Himachal Pradesh will get direct employment in it. As per the information from H.P. Health department, in the past five years 2299 patients of breathing, 191 hiv positive and 5 laprocy were registered in Barmana and 19349 breathing and 4 cases of laprocy were registered in Darlaghat during the last 5 years. Environment point of view, more than 8000 families /more than 40000 people will be affected by this cement plant and more than 500 families will be displaced and thousands years old more than half dozen worship places will be destroyed. The employment will not be provided to common man it will only be enjoyed by the big busuness houses, local businessmen community and some polititions only. Nothing is in the favour of a comman man. A common man will loose everything and he has to fight for bread in future.

Today’s need is to educate the people, about the awareness of latest technology, rather than to mislead the innocent villagers. It is very clear that whenever any new group/establishment raises their new plant they got clearance from the Central/state pollution control board.
Therefore the local innocent people should encourage the upcoming industries rather than agitation, which definitely give exposure to the local villagers in addition to employment which again will uplift the life of all villages of Karsog tehsil viz right from Karsog,Churag, Mahunag, Alsindi, Bagshad, Jayori, tatapani, Sanvidhar, Randol, Bal, Thalli, Telhan, Dagaon, Jedvi, Deol, Khandech, Shakra, Suni, Gharyana, Palyad, shakrori and Chaba Basantpur etc.
To conclude everyone must understand the latest technology in the interest of our country.
Thank you,

the installation of cement plants in himachal pradesh is unfortunate. where the lafarge india pvt is going to install the cement plant there is more than 5 lacs of evergreen trees such as devdar, baan, cheer, kail and huge number of herbs and huge number of wild animals just as tiger, black bear, peacock, titar, bater and a huge groth of vulture. the land of farmers is very furtile. there are orchards of apples, pomagranates etc. on one hand the whole world is worried about the global warming and other hand such cement plants are being installed very near to Himalyas. if the government and other organizations are serious about the environment the such activities must be stopped at once.

This is ridiculous to think of anymore cement plants where current plants have made us poorer in terms of ecological & nature’s wealth. this industry has devastated this wealth of himachal state. govt cannot sidelines enviromental interest in return of such industries. in the times when world is uniting over global warming related issues such decisions of Govt. are least expected and would be a shame on us. this is a high time we must put our humanatarian efforts towards nature and its resources. people of himachal deserve & need a healthier and peaceful & grrner future..
