Respected Sir, I am Pushpendra Singh, Address Village Berai, Post Bevra, Shankargarh Police Station, Shankargarh Tehsil Bara, District Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
Sir, there is Tata and Ultratech Cement company in our village. This company is spreading pollution in the entire village. Our village is just adjacent to the boundary of the company. The company stores cement ash inside its boundary through trucks, which is causing air pollution in the entire village. And the dirty water of the company flows from the village itself, due to which water pollution is also happening. So, the water of the village is no longer fit or fit for drinking.
