Govt to issue guidelines for eco-friendly buildings: U.T Khader
Bearys Green Avenue apartment inaugurated
Kundapur, June 17: Urban Development and Housing Minister UT Khader said that the government would give a serious thought to issue guidelines to construct eco-friendly buildings for not only Housing department but also for all departments in the state.
Inaugurating the eco-friendly Bearys Green Avenue apartment, which received by IGBC Platinum recognition, constructed by the Bearys Group at Koteshwara on Sunday, the Minister said that “he would shortly convene a meeting with the private companies. This is the need of the hour. If we save water and power, it will be the biggest asset we handed over to the next generation. This would also ensure good environment for all”, he said.
Nowadays, rural areas were also having more number of buildings and the sewage water being released from them was polluting the entire environment. So such buildings should not be given permission without Sewage Treatment Plants (STP). Respective gram panchayats should work honestly in such issues, he said.
Promising that he would introduce new programmes even in rural housing schemes, the Minister said that commercial complexes and education institutions run by the Bearys Group have contributed a lot for the society. Interestingly, the Group has become a society-oriented with its new initiative of eco-friendly building. The Bearys Green Avenue would become another Crown to Koteshwara, he said.
Kundapura MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty said that the Bearys Group would not compromise in its quality construction and its environment-friendly initiatives like eco-friendly building, planting saplings and others were really commendable, he said.
Minister responds to Syed Beary
Presiding over the programme, Bearys Group chairman Syed Muhammad Beary said that Housing and Urban Development departments should have eco-friendly buildings. But they might cost more. More than money, water and power could be saved from such buildings, he said appealing Minister Khader take decision on this.
Responding to the appeal, Khader said that he would take this issue seriously. He would convene a meeting to elicit suggestions to adopt this method in all departments and invited Beary to the meeting.
