Dighalipukhuri in Danger? Public Voices Concerns Over Pollution & Safety | GPlus

On Monday, May 19, several concerned citizens of Guwahati came forward to raise their voices against the unsustainable and unsafe urban development taking place across the city. The press conference, chaired by Milin Dutta and attended by Dr. Basabi Dutta, Dr. Urmi Boragohain, Fathima Gulabadin, Khanin Baruah, and Farida Sultan, highlighted multiple pressing issues.

Fathima Gulabadin pointed at the ongoing construction at Dighalipukhuri, stating that lush green trees have been cut or relocated without public consultation, and a concrete wall is being built, threatening the natural heritage of the area.

Dr. Urmi Boragohain criticised the lack of transparency and increasing pollution due to flawed construction work, affecting children's health the most.

Dr. Basabi Dutta raised serious safety concerns, citing a recent incident where a worker was electrocuted at the Noonmati–Chandmari flyover site. She urged the government to ensure basic safety for all workers.

Milin Dutta called for the press and public to collaborate in holding authorities accountable, and to protect Guwahati’s green cover.

The delegation submitted key recommendations, including:

Safety audits by PWD and Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd at all major construction sites.

Public consultations before relocating mature trees.

A call to Assam Tourism Development Corporation to hold meetings on the SABRE technology being deployed at Dighalipukhuri.
