Dear Jadira,
Besides a policy what we need is qualified workers. Govt should have assigned a local environmental inspector to be part of the construction team. He should have been there on a daily basis in order to ensure that the work is done within the scope of his profession. Govt should also demanded that Westin pays the salary of this inspector during the construction period. The sad thing about this is that the other day the inspector of the Public Works went to stop a man to extend his property by 2 ft. This mans house was located on some hillside where I can assure you that people would not like to go unless it is a must. Why would an inspector make such a effort to go over there while left and right people are violating all our environmental laws. This is the problem. The laws of this land are not being applied as it should. As they say here many times it is not what you know but who you knows. NeverthelessI looking forward for some better days.
