Open burning pollutes the air, while its proximity to an electricity pole creates additional fire and safety hazard for the surrounding community.

Smoke Under the Power Lines

The image depicts an open fire burning a pile of waste beneath an electricity pole in a residential area.

The smoke released from the burning waste contains pollutants and fine particles that degrade air quality and can cause respiratory and other health problems for nearby residents.

The presence of the electricity pole directly above the burning waste adds another layer of risk.

Heat, flames, and smoke can damage electrical equipment and wiring, potentially leading to electrical faults, power outages, or even transformer and equipment failures. This scene highlights the importance of proper waste management and fire safety.

Reducing open burning not only helps maintain cleaner air but also protects critical infrastructure and the communities that depend on it.

विकास कि फोहोर ?

"सडकको छेउमै यसरी थुप्रिएको फोहोर केवल दुर्गन्धको समस्या मात्र होइन, यो वातावरण, जनस्वास्थ्य र भविष्यप्रतिको ठूलो चुनौती हो ।"

"यो कुनै पहाड होइन, फोहोरको थुप्रो हो।" सडक छेउमै यति ठूलो परिमाणमा थुपारिएको फोहोरले वातावरण मात्र होइन, स्थानीय बासिन्दाको स्वास्थ्यमा पनि प्रत्यक्ष असर पार्ने जोखिम बढाएको छ।
