Petitioner: Vision kashmir started on March 5, 2010
INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC PETITION:
SAVE THE LAKES /FORESTS/ NATURAL RESORTS AND STOP ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IN KASHMIR
Petitioners being the affected party by virtue of being citizens of J&K request the Government of J&K to take immediate action with regards to the deteriorating condition of environment in J&K
Petitioners understand that the existing condition of the water bodies in J&K along with the waste disposal, forestry and sanitation issues, present a health risk of immense magnitude for the public and the environment threatening the very existence and identity of Kashmir as a land of beauty and serenity. Further, petitioners realize that these issues can be rectified only at and from grass root levels by involving the public themselves through community education programs and initiatives both at micro and macro level. Any interventions designed have to be based on the appraisal with the community to make it successful and sustainable. A comprehensive community involvement in the program should be the corner stone of any environmental development program initiated by the State.
