10 Attachment to MOM of Public Hearing To, The Regional Officer Uttarakhand Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Board, Dehradun Respected Sir, Kindly pay your attention on the below mentioned suggestions, resulting from the Public Hearing Meeting held today, dated June 2nd, 2018, regarding expansion of the Dehradun Airport. 1. Due to the expansion of the Terminal at the Dehradun Airport, there will be an increment in the movement of airplanes across the airport, as a consequence of which there are chances of increase in Air Pollution. In lieu of which, it is advisable to increase the total tree count in the nearby area, in order to control the air pollution, for which a new Long Term Project at PPP should be proposed and worked on. The required amount of money for the same project should be sourced and funded from CSR funds. 2. Keeping in mind the general interests of the regional people, the regional unemployed people should be given preference in new job opportunities arising on account of the expansion of the new terminal at the airport. This would help regional peole in realising the damaging impacts of Air and Noise Pollution to a great extent. (Dabbal Singh Bhandari)
