Riding a 6-game win streak, the Eagles head to Hollywood again for a rematch with the young RamsLudhiana: Second phase of ‘ Buddha Dariya kar seva ’ has started under the leadership of Rajya Sabha member Balbir Singh Seechewal . Seechewal spoke to Ludhiana deputy commissioner, municipal corporation and Punjab Pollution Control Board officials over phone and asked them to strictly stop poisonous water falling into the river. He has also made it clear to the administrative officials that in the second phase of the ‘kar seva’, a front had been opened to stop dirty and poisonous water falling into the Buddha Dariya. It is worth noting that during the first phase of ‘Buddha Dariya kar seva’, which started on Feb 2, a large number of saplings were planted on its banks and roads were constructed to reach the river. On Sunday, Akhand Paath Sahib was started before the ‘kar seva’ of the Buddha Dariya at Gau Ghat Gurdwara. During this, Seechewal took stock of the dirty water falling into Buddha Dariya and also inspected the direct and indirect dirty and poisonous water of dairies and factories. He said by calling Buddha Dariya as Buddha Nullah, many are denying the existence of the river itself. He appealed to the environmentalists to come forward to restore the ancient form of the river. Seechewal has appealed to the people of Punjab that restoring the ancient heritage of Buddha Dariya was the moral duty and religion of every Punjabi. He added that the youth had immense power and they should come forward for this work. Seechewal said twice in 2008 and 2011, poisonous and dirty water of Kala Sanghian drain was stopped with the help of people as this poisonous water was becoming a cause of cancer. This water falls into Sutlej through Chitti Bei and then goes to Malwa and Rajasthan through Harike Patan where people are forced to drink this poisonous water without treatment. Seechewal also expressed happiness that recently people had come out on the streets for their rights against the poisonous and dirty water falling into the Buddha Dariya. He said he had always been saying that till the time people do not become aware, rivers and drains of Punjab could not be cleaned.
