While only a few transport only the required amount of waste to feed pigs, it has been found that some others lie standards by collecting large amounts of waste for the money offered and burial underground, perhaps polluting groundwater.
At the beginning of this week, the Gram Pangode Gram Panchayat launched an event against a pig farm in which waste of waste were found underground. According to President Panchayat MM Shafi, a group of people in the area presented a mass petition against a pig farm and accused the owners of polluting the Chittar River, located near the Aruvippuram reservoir, which adds water to several panchayat in the area. The odor from the farm also became unbearable.
MOUNDS OF WASTE
“Panchayat subcommittee, which consists of representatives of all parties and all parts, unanimously decided that the farm cannot be allowed to function with respect to environmental damage. Although we released a memorandum in July.
F After feeding meat and other food waste, the rest of the waste, including plastics and other non-biologically degradable materials, are buried underground.
In April, the State Commission of Kerala for the protection of the child’s rights ordered the authorities of three Gram Panchayats in the district to close pig farms that operate without valid licenses in an unhygienic environment and cause contamination. In this context, the Commission organized two hears and examined the reports submitted by respondents.
