The most important consequence of the conflict is the sacristy of the resources and the control of elite on these resources, this happens in most of the third world or poor countries like Pakistan in global south or third world, the Imperial masters let the poor live in misery with the elitism and poor governance structures. When the industrial revolution paved roads to urbanization the people in the rural settings started moving to the urban centers this happen in Pakistan too, even in the Arid Zone Rawalpindi Division and its all partner districts like Chakwal, Attock, Jehlum and Rawalpindi people started migrating from rural areas to the urban settings for jobs, business and other opportunities of quality living. The villages were considered even more healthy paces for habitat still but in last decade the mushroom growth of the poultry industry makes it vulnerable for them now life in the rural areas of Rawalpindi Tehsil specially the Potohar Town is more worst then ever before, the most common humanitarian issues in the town are contaminated water because the solid waste of two cities is also silted and flush-out in Soan river and most of the water supply scheme are on the river banks.
The State functionaries since the creation Town remains the part of money making activities including the elected representative starting from the Union Nazims/Naib Nazims to Town Namizm/Naib Nazim were the people who make money by selling the lands and motivating the land holders to sell their lands to land mafia which they converted into industrial and semi industrial corporate projects in the area including the leading town planning companies, investors and industrialists like one is most important name in the poultry industry Sadiq Brothers SB Poultry which have the major share in the poultry industry in Pakistan is working in the Potohar Town. They set up multi-billion industry and have not even taken into account the Environmental Concerns of the communities like Mial, Kurar, Karahi, Dhoke Gujri, Jaray, Banraian, Murjhang, Parial, Gahi Syedan, Dheri, Dhadumbar, Chakri, Gheela Kalan, Dandi and Chak Koka are the major sites occupied by the SB Chick or SB Poultry.
The most sensitive issue is that most of th sites are not have been declared in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and some have not been even visited by the District Officer Environment, they are making a environmental hazards and polluting the local communities with the chicken dunk and droppings which are left in open areas without burring them in the landfills, no senirations systems are part of the hatchery built in Chakri a few minutes drive from the Chakri Interchange/Service Area on M-2 This is a brief Orientation of the issues and its rationale because nothing could happen on the earth without a rationale or its justification for the nature or the habitat. Once a friend of mined visited my native and said this will create a massive environmental problem for your people in future why not organize them to protest and intervene the intruders for setting up these poultry farms without proper Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and mitigating the problems. So we become silly and avoid this argument now we are the most likely to face this toxic hazards and dead birds and their remaining in our community.
A few days back a group of people from Village Parial Protested in front of the SB Farms and they were dealt with arms and guards of the SB Farms started firing with the fire arms on the protesters of the neighboring village Parial, a boy was reported as injured, one is missing and many of families are in distress. Why this happen nobody knows but the people in the surroundings are still sure that this will create again a health and environmental problems for them. This could only be dealt with advocating both the communities and the industry so that they could mitigate the environmental issues and put some extra money on the protection of the environment they could plant the trees, floors and other fruit tree in the communities they could help farmers to setup the compost plant or the methane gas plants so that the issues could be resolved.
A proper research study could also help the communities what they need to do and what could be asked from state for the improvement of the environmental concerns of the communities, am here if I could be of any help for conducting a research survey, situational analysis and Environmental Assessment. Here I would like to mention that the Environmental Laws of Islamic Republic of Pakistan prohibit the setting up a poultry farm at an aerial distance less then 0.5 kilometer most of the farms sett by the said firms are clearly violating this law. The poor villagers who are not in a position to even read the simple text can't afford the enmity with these investors, now it is the duty of civil society and the community leaders to come forward and become the power of poor to up hold their voices to be heard in the parliament and in the state entities to resolve the issue and culprits must be dealt with iron hands.
The Issue of the SB Poultry and Villagers from Parial Mial, Kurar, Karahi, Dhoke Gujri, Jaray, Banraian, Murjhang, Parial, Gahi Syedan, Dheri, Dhadumbar, Chakri, Gheela Kalan, Dandi and Chak Koka if not dealt properly the communities will become more violent and conflict between the corporate industry and the communities could result a massive loss of lives and property in future at any stage the examples are already held in the development sector that these issues could be resolved or mitigated with the help of reviews, reforms, mitigation and arbitration at both ends.
