(3/3) It is the time to look for non conventional ways to produce electricity and diesel / petrol. The Central and State governments should take initiative in this matter. The structure of Thermal plant should design for multi purpose model. With that plant there should be a chance to produce electricity using coal, solid waste, waste tyres, and plastic waste. Then the production cost of electricity also be cheaper. With changed design structure, water usage should make zero.

Health for all scheme what is happening we do not know. We expect Government should take care of all its citizens and more so for senior citizens who are not being taken care by any mostly. In health care Government must arrange full support for all. Healthy citizens means healthy Government. Please take care for all on health and education.

आदरणीय,विशाल जनसंख्या और गरीबी भारत के पर्यावरणीय अनुभव को विशिष्ट बनाते है। हमारे यहाँ संपोषणीयता का मार्ग सामूहिकता में ही दिखता है,सामुदायिक परिवहन,अपशिष्टों का उत्पादक निपटान,परंपरागत पौधों का वैकल्पिक तेल उत्पादक प्रयोग,सामाजिक वानिकी संसाधनों के मौद्रिकरण के साथ पर्यावरण सुरक्षा में योगदान कर सकते है।देश में पर्यावरण सुरक्षा की सबसे बड़ी आशा प्रकृति के प्रति ईश्वरीय लगाव और सुरक्षा की आन्दोलनकारी प्रवित्ति है इसे वैश्विक स्तर पर महिमामंडित करने की आवश्यकता है।

Honourable sir 1 . Government should be establish a lab to identihfy those trees or plant who largest sinker of CO2 compare than other tree and also do research on how to increase the capacity of trees for consumption of CO2. Use that type of tree in planting. 2.We import the water from outside the city .So make a good water conservation policy of raining water inside the city not outside the city . Government should make large kund(well) by Morden methods in city and develop as tourist spot.

Second major issue is usage of plastic. Even a small town with population 2lakhs is producing 2-3 tons of plastic waste per day. There should be a method to use the plastic waste in a proper manner. European countries are producing electricity, diesel by using plastic waste. Railways, state road transport buses are using crores of liters of diesel every year. If any of these take initiative and start utilizing the plastic waste in these above said ways. India will save foreign exchange.

Every developer of the housing complex should be mandated to prepare a common facility for composting the kitchen waste to make manure. This manure can be used for horticulture in the same premises. This way we can reduce the trips of waste collection vehicle and save energy and efforts.

I would like to give a suggestion on major pollution generating system i.e., Thermal power. Coal is a Carbon based ore and it is burnt in the presence of Oxygen. When this is done, huge amount of Carbon dioxide will be produced. Till today the same format is using in the Thermal power plant construction. Why not the new or alternative methods are adopted? Thermal power plant is major cause for climate change. With these plants, soil, water is also getting polluted.We need to work on this problem

SHUVO BIJOYA. My serious concern are on recent cereal (Dal) issue. How poor people lost crores when we had huge stocks of Dal available in godown. I see no accountability no responsibility fixed. I expected you as Ho. PM would fix guy responsible for this mess. I know you do not appreciate or like such lapses but action should have been taken. I like when you appreciate good work done like you did mention about Railway Minister Shree Prabhu for his good work but no mention about others who are
