This complaint is bringing your attention to Air, Sound & Water Pollution by a petrol pump near 20 house holders in Aroor grama panchayat ward XXI and Grand a permission to increase the width of passageway for house holders near by St Augustine Petrol pump.
Around 50 people living Near the St Augustine petrol pump situated in XXI ward of Aroor Gramapanchayath. The store tank and filling coils are placed only 10-12 meter from our houses and which makes a toxic smell even in fuel filling time. There were few senior citizens and children living near this pump facing breathing problems also. We already intimated the problem to the pump authorities several times and they haven't taken any necessary action to resolve the problem.
Now they are going to implement CNG without any consent from the neighbour's and also moving their Generator from the isolated area to near to our houses. We already face the air pollution and smell by the fuel tank and once they place the generator, then we will suffer with the sound pollution also.
For every monsoon season, our area facing water logging issue in front of every house and the polluted water from the petrol pump is also mixed on the logged water. Which is affected to our normal water sources.
The passageway near by the petrol pump is very congested and most of the house holders are senior citizens, we requested to the petrol pump owners to grant a permission for increase with width of the passage for 2 feet till the first home and remaining areas are give up by the house owners. But the petrol pump owners are not willing to give up the area.
Kindly help us to increase the width of the passageway at least traveled by an autorickshaw/ small ambulance if any emergency situation will occur.
