The first president Dr Ram Baran Yadav today stressed the need to rethink the plan for construction of highway through Chure.
Speaking at ‘Chure Ko Chintan (contemplation on Chure)’ organised as part of Nepal Literature Festival in Janakpurdham today, he called on the stakeholders to pay attention to the imminent ecological crisis stemming from perpetual Chure erosion. “The construction of highway through Chure and excessive use of construction equipment like excavators have resulted in drying up of water sources and disappearance of animal species from their habitats,” the first president said, suggesting implementation of development plans being sensitivity of the region bearing 60 per cent of the total population, which is also pocket area for grain production. “The government should rethink its plan for railway expansion at the expense of forest areas.”
The future generation will have to pay cost of destroying Chure as the natural calamities will be dearer for them, he added.
Likewise, former prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal seconded Yadav.
Nepal calling the government to conserve Chure, said that the myopic planning has heralded crisis in the Chure region. “There is an urgent need to frame a masterplan for the entire country for its scientific development without causing harm to the environment,” he added.
