Want to get rid of fly ash? Dump it on link roads

Want to get rid of the fly ash? Dump it on link roads of a few villages near the city. This is what a few industrialists have done by throwing it on the roads connecting Wadi Mundian Kalan to the city.
After facing criticism for dumping the hazardous waste in the Focal Point area for the past many years, the dyeing industrialists have now moved ahead towards Mundian.
Heaps of fly ash is dumped on a stretch of this road everyday and the villagers are having a tough time. They claim that the fly ash swept away by the wind and gets deposited in their houses. It even enters into the eyes and respiratory tracts of the residents who were left to complain without any response from the authorities concerned.
Gurpreet Singh, a flour mill owner in the area, said his business he had suffered the biggest ever setback. Whenever he grounded wheat, fine particles of fly ash entered into the flour. The residents complained of poor quality atta.
‘‘Everybody is suffering in one way or the other. Residents complain of fly ash entering into the house. They were even complaining of irritation in the eyes and nostrils. But nobody seems to be caring. My business is at a stake. I have a problem of my own kind, ’’ said Gurpreet Singh stating that they had complained to the area councillor a number of times but to no avail.
The residents said the ash gets deposited at night and the heaps could be seen in the morning. They discovered these only after waking up. By around afternoon the heaps were flattened by the vehicles that passed through the road that wore a black look.
They said they were planning to catch the industrialists red handed while doing so. ‘‘We are waiting for the cold wave to subside. Then we would lay the trap, ’’ said a resident.
The fly ash was generated by the dyeing industry that used paddy husk as fuel. Fine ash, lighter than the air, was produced when the husk was burnt in the boilers. It was notorious for choking sewer lines in the Focal Point area. The industrialists were dumping it on the roadsides there. Many industrialists manufacturing cycle parts had protested against the practice several times. The Focal Point area was converted into a desert of fly ash.

I have some answer for you.
Cos Fly ash is indeed a pollution for the environment, and there are ways to remove the fly ash from the environment and utilize it for cement production.
A technology via our company allows 95% fly ash to utilized for the production of Green cement. meaning it doesnt contain portland cement. and thus will be able to claim for carbon credit.
