In that context, the Department-related Parlia- mentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Environment and Forests took up the subject of pollution levels of some of the metropolitan and Tier-II cities of the country for its examination and report. The Committee undertook study visit to Mumbai and Visakhapatnam from 30th January to 2nd February, 2015 to study the pollution index of these two coastal cities. Mumbai 2. In Mumbai, the Committee on 30th January, 2015 started its business by holding interaction with civil society organizations and NGOs on urbanization vis-à-vis pollution in Maharashtra in general and Mumbai in particular. A list of NGOs and civil society organisations that appeared before the Committee is appended at Annexure-I. Separately, the Committee also interacted with Principal Secretary, Environment; Principal Secretary, Maharashtra Urban Development Department; Vice-President, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA); Chairman, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board; Managing Director, City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd. (CIDCO); Principal Secretary, Town Planning Government of Maharashtra; Commissioner, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC); Chairmen, Jawahar Lal Nehru and Mumbai Port Trusts and representatives of Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change on the subject. 3. The Chairman while initiating discussion pointed out that challenge of rising population, haphazard urbanization, growing industrialization, and depleting natural resources, that the city of Mumbai is facing. While Government agencies/authorities viz. BMC, CIDCO, MHADA, MMRDA, etc. had been doing their bit to address these issues, the moot point remained whether those efforts had been effective enough and what more was required to be done. He emphasized the need, of revisiting the efficacy of existing policies and implementation. 4. He also emphasised on the need for solid waste management, special attention to sewerage systems, encroachment of wetlands and forest areas, noise and vehicular pollution, air quality, urban planning and need to adhere to the discipline of the relevant rules and regulations. 5. Representatives of Non-Governmental Orgnisations (NGOs)/Civil Society Organisations raised a number of issues pertaining to environmental status and urban planning of Mumbai. Some of the views expressed by the NGOs are as follows:- (i) Representative of The Energy Research Institute (Western Region Centre) stated that urbanization is important but it has to be sustainable. She argued that to feed the population living in metropolitan areas it is required to have agricultural areas and free spaces near them. Careful planning is needed before setting up new colonies. Additionally, encroachment near water bodies should be stopped as it will lead to severe water crisis in the urban areas in coming years. She was of the view that authorities should have plans to develop water bodies. 1 2 (ii) Representative of Hariyali NGO also emphasized on the need to developed water bodies. (iii) Representative of World Wild Life Fund for Nature, Maharashtra State office stated that people have to be made aware about the environment protection. Small changes in lifestyle can impact the environment. (iv) Representative of Sahyadri Nisarg Mitra was of the view that every individual should solve his solid waste problem and awareness needs to be spread in that regard especially in smaller cities. He also suggested improving Mandoli bio- diversity area as eco-tourism spot with conservation programme. (v) Representative of Ela Foundation made a power point presentation on the problems arising out of urbanization in Mumbai and Pune. He spoke about the Environmental, cultural and ideological pollution. He also spoke about territory hazards particularly on aviation hazard near Airports, Mangrove ecosystem; toxic and plastic waste affecting birds and fisheries. He suggested that mass media should be used more effectively to create awareness on that issue in collaboration with the Government. (vi) Representative of Awaaz Foundation raised issues relating to noise pollution stating that noise pollution adversely affected health. She also highlighted increase in cases relating to road rage in urban areas. She argued that noise pollution is a major health hazard. Noise during festival celebration is also a health hazard. Areas should be earmarked for these kinds of celebrations. Licenses should be given for these functions. It was suggested by her that national parks should be declared silence zone. Strict Implementation of the laws needed. She also suggested creating a new organization with overriding powers to tackle the problem of pollution in Mumbai. She added that noise pollution requires equal attention under Swachchha

  • Understanding Precarity in the Context of the Political and Criminal Economy in India
    Buried in Sand: Understanding Precarity in the Context of the Political and Criminal Economy in India Jordann Hass 6340612 Final Research Paper submitted to Dr. Melissa Marschke Final Version Abstract: As the world population grows and countries become more urbanized, the demand for sand is more prominent than ever. However, this seemingly infinite resource is being exhausted beyond its natural rate of renewal; we are running out of sand. The limited supply of sand has resulted in illicit sand trading globally, spawning gangs and mafias in a lethal black market. Through the nexus of politics, business and crime, India has demonstrated to be the most extreme manifestation of the global sand crisis. This paper will offer insight into the under-researched area of precarity surrounding the sand trade in the context of political criminality in India. By adopting an integrative approach to precarity, the analysis will review the direct and indirect impacts on livelihoods and local communities. The findings highlight how the collusive relations between the sand mafia and state authorities perpetuate a cycle of precarious labour and social-ecological conditions. To conclude, I will explore recommendations on how to address the implications of sand mining as a global community. 1.0 Introduction Sand is a fundamental component in modern society. Minuscule, and in some instances almost invisible, sand is one of the most important solid substances on earth (Beiser, 2018a). Historically, it was used as a form of verbal art that incorporated language, culture and expression through drawings. Eventually, the use of sand evolved into a material that was ‘malleable and durable, strong and fireproof,’ (Mars, 2019).
