Coal loading hub Chandwa is to get better policing and effective maintenance of law and order. SP latehar Anoop Birtharey on Thursday sat with the members of Chandwa chamber of commerce and interacted with them for little over an hour on issues of public and trade interest.
Chandwa chamber of commerce was represented by its president Prem Shanker Bhagat Shanker lal Kanoudia RN Gupta and Nirmal K Sharma and others.
The Chamber of commerce urged the SP to impose restrictions on pressure horns used by heavy vehicles. Further the Chamber wanted anti-dust measurement to be implemented effectively like water sprinkling since dust in Chandwa born out of coal and bauxite has rendered the lives of the commoners miserable.
SP latehar sounded thankful to Chatra BJP MP Sunil Singh for giving Rs12 lakh from his MP lADS. Chandwa is sooner to find installation of as many as ten CCTVs and 12 CCTVs in latehar which will help public and police to keep an eye on every activity being carried out in the NHs 75 and 98 both.
Birtharey said the MP has been further approached for similar funding for installation of cctvs in Balumath. There are two top temples here in this region where installation of CCTVs will help a lot to the police and temple management reiterated the SP.
On being asked that he (SP) interacted with chamber of commerce Chandwa while the district organisation latehar was left out Birtharey said Chandwa chamber is a force to reckon with. Truly speaking latehar is the district town but in fact it is Chandwa where lies the soul of this district as here goes two major railway projects Toree (Chandwa) lohardagga railway lines and Toree Sivpuri railway lines. Further Chandwa township is three time bigger than the latehar ones’.
Birtharey said in the same vein ‘One industrial corridor has been identified between Toree and Barka gaon here. This corridor has all NTPC Amarpali Tandwa coal blocks etc. Where such a big industrial hub is on the anvil security and safety matters most and this Thursday meeting was for a co- ordinated effort between the chamber and the police here.
More than a year back the big face of Chandwa, ladu Babu was gunned down for his sustained campaign against illegal coal operator and unlawful dumping of coal causing huge dust cloud Chandwa continues to be the business nerve of latehar and Birtharey took time off for his sitting with the Chamber here for a better and healthy policing said sources.
