Neopolis, the region near Kokapet, is considered the heart of the new Hyderabad, with its tallest skyscrapers and the rapid development of affluent residential and commercial complexes. However, the present situation is alarming. The level of pollution is shocking.
Hundreds of proclainers, rock crushers and ready-mix concrete machines are operating round the clock, generating massive dust and constant noise.
A few builders have completed their towers and are ready to hand them over to buyers, but the owners are worried because the dust and pollution are making living here feel like a punishment.
The government has laid the roads in this region and left the rest to the developers. But it is also the responsibility of the government to enforce existing norms and ensure that developers sprinkle water daily to control dust.
These rules already exist, yet many developers are not following them as it adds to their costs.
Delhi earned a poor reputation because of its air quality. Now Neopolis is in national discussion for its growth. If this pollution issue spreads further, it will be counterproductive for both the region and the city.
Before the situation goes out of control, immediate measures are necessary. Standing in Neopolis for just fifteen minutes is causing eye irritation, as complained by many.
This is not just a local issue. The dust and haze are spreading through the air towards Gachibowli as well.
Fine dust particles can enter the lungs and lead to asthma and other respiratory diseases. When will this region gets emancipation from this pollution?
GreatAndhra has done an exclusive ground report from Neopolis on this issue. Watch the full coverage.
