Srinagar, June 5: CPI (M) leader Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami Saturday said that it was time for the people living on the Earth to stop harming nature and polluting it further.
In a statement issued here, he expressed concern for the incessant degradation of the eco-system in J&K and said that water bodies of the region had shrunk drastically and were becoming dumping sites.
Tarigami said solid waste management could play a vital role in reducing the threat to these water bodies.
“The ecosystem of Jammu and Kashmir is fragile and it’s continuous over-exploitation has forced many natural living organisms into a serious threat of extinction. This includes the crown of wildlife of Kashmir, Hangul. The change in land use is going to pose serious threat to the Ecosystem as J&K’s ecology is fragile and needs immediate attention of the administration,” he said.
