SAVE ENVIRONMENT SAVE COAST
REMOVE ALL ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTIONS ON MANDARMANI COAST
NO LENIENCY TO THE UNSCRUPULOUS TOURISM VANDALS
Mandarmoni is the grand destination of coastal land sharks in West Bengal. Situated in the Ramnagar II Block of the Contai Sub-Division of the District of East-Medinipur in West Bengal the area had all the natural wealth of a wide beach inhabited by millions of red crabs, landscaped by sand dunes, dune protecting creepers, screw pines and has been seasonally visited by thousands of local traditional fishers.
The pristine natural beauty of Mandarmoni made it irresistibly attractive to beach lovers. No concrete jungle, no wastewater, no garbage, no urban glare or din. Only the sea, surf, fishers with their boats and nets, a wide beach dotted with red crabs, sand dunes with runners and screw pines. Small fisher villages with thatched huts, kitchen gardens, cattle and poultry. Everything so serene and tranquil yet so full of activity and variation.
First, these moneyed people lured the small fishers and farmers who were the rayati owners and/or putta holders of lands adjacent to the coast to transfer their holdings in their favour. Second, portions of beach with sand dunes and beach vegetation (such as runners and screw pines) were encroached. Third, the local Panchayet was managed (presumably by money power and political pressure) to issue approvals for building plans.
Then started the macabre vandalisation of this splendid gift of nature. Sand dunes were flattened, screw pines destroyed and shifted, beach sand was mined to construct huge hotels / resorts right on the beach.
The beach has been turned into a thoroughfare with transport carrying construction materials as well as the tourists.
The result is for all to see. Natural landscape – sand dunes and screw pines – gave way to concrete constructions. The red crabs, their habitats crushed under the wheels of traffic, fled to safer destinations. Robbed of its natural constituents, the beach is already showing signs of narrowing down and erosion. Already garbage is piling up on the beach. Leave alone the daily poisonous dose of thousands of litres of sewage and wastewater – bearing detergents, disinfectants and pesticides used in these hotels – that finds its way to the sea.
The Coastal Regulation Zone Notification (hereafter referred to as CRZ) dated 19 February 1991, under the Environment Protection Act 1986, directs that no such construction is legal in
A. The area falling between the Low Tide Line (LTL) and the Highest High Tide Line (HTL)
B. The area falling within 500 meters of the landward side of the Highest High Tide Line which is coastal restricted zone and of which up to 200 meters of the landward side of the Highest High tide line is a no development zone.
Besides, the aforesaid notification prohibits altering natural features of the beach – flattening of sand dunes, sand mining and destruction of beach vegetation.
On 07.08.2006 WBPCB imposed closure order on five units and directed the West Bengal State Electricity Board to take steps for immediate disconnection of electricity to those units and the Officer-in-Charge of the Ramnagar Police Station was also directed to execute the closure order and also submit the compliance report to the State Pollution Control Board within seven days.
None complied. The hotels continued with their construction and operation. WBSEB and Ramnagar Police Station slept on the WBPCB order.
Thereafter, in response to an appeal made by one of the defaulting hoteliers the Pollution Control Appellate Authority of west Bengal caused an investigation by an expert committee and basing on their report, passed an order on 20.02.2007directing the concerned hotel units to dismantle within two months. Yet the hoteliers continues with their illegal business.
We, the concerned citizens are perturbed to witness that the West Bengal Government miserably fails to discharge its statutory duties and obligations in protecting the coastal zones of the state. DIGHA, Shankarpur and Frasergunj bear stark evidences of environmental misgovernance. This has been admitted by WBPCB itself.
In the circumstances we call upon you to support demolition of the unauthorized hotels at Mandarmani and remove encroachments of the coast. These hoteliers are worst profiteering miscreants who has not only violated the constitutional duty of every Indian citizen to protect our environment but also have vandalized our national wealth.
