Machine for making pellets from polythene among the population in Sugamau village, suspected Bangladeshi sorting the polythene
Ajay Srivastava, Jagran, Lucknow: Suspicious Bangladeshis have set up a cottage industry in Lucknow. No one can tell on whose land this work is being done. At some places, the issue of government involvement is also coming to the fore. On one hand, the government has launched a campaign to drive out the infiltrators, while on the other hand, they are taking control firmly.
A colony of suspected Bangladeshis has settled on the land of former SP councilor Pankaj Yadav in Bahadurpur of Gudamba. Here every day a large amount of junk is being collected and sold to contractors. These contractors are also from the city, who carry different types of cardboard, bottles, polythene and plastic in sacks at night. Polythene and plastic are melted and made into granules and then the granules are sold, from which plastic products are prepared along with polythene.
A machine for melting plastic and polythene into granules has also been installed next to the primary school in Sugamau, adjacent to Indira Nagar, which is about to be commissioned. For this, electricity connection (ten horse power) has been taken. This place is also at a short distance from the settlement of suspected Bangladeshis.
People say that earlier polythene and plastic were melted in the colony of suspected Bangladeshis. Its smoke used to blow but this work is done only at night, whereas in the nearby Chandan village, a colony of suspected Bangladeshis, polythene and plastic are melted and made into granules. This work is also done here at night, but during this time the work is stopped due to strictness.
investigation started going cold
After the order of the Chief Minister, the surveillance system from the police to the Municipal Corporation had intensified in the settlements of suspected Bangladeshis, but now this surveillance seems to be slowing down. Therefore, the fear of being driven out of the city seems to be reducing among those living in slums.
Business running under the protection of big junkies
With the help of the Municipal Corporation, the police and big scrap dealers, the sources of employment for suspicious Bangladeshis are increasing. Dainik Jagran's team found in its survey that some scrap dealers of the city in Chandan are patrons of these settlements who buy the scrap from the garbage. The suspicious Bangladeshi woman present in Chandan told that the contractor's vehicle comes at night and weighs and takes away the scrap. Every family gets an income of up to Rs 2,000 every day. A huge quantity of polythene and plastic was found kept in sacks in Chandni Basti itself. Two hundred sacks were kept at different places.
