Dairy Waste Flows: FIRs Fly as Buddha Nullah Suffers

The persistent issue of dairy waste polluting Buddha Nullah has resurfaced with the registration of multiple FIRs against dairy owners at the Tajpur Road Dairy Complex. These actions follow complaints that cow dung and wastewater were illegally discharged into the water body, violating government directives. During enforcement efforts, municipal corporation staff also reported being subjected to manhandling.

Despite ongoing efforts by the municipal corporation, including issuing notices and cutting illegal pipelines, the problem remains unresolved. Dairy owners, however, argue that the corporation's failure to regularly collect cow dung exacerbates the situation, leading to accumulation and eventual flow into the nullah. They contend that they are being targeted without addressing the root cause of waste management inefficiencies.

Buddha Nullah has been a long-standing concern due to untreated waste from various sources. Environmental activists point to a breakdown in responsibilities by both the authorities and dairy operators. While police investigations are ongoing, residents fear the cycle of pollution, notices, and FIRs will persist until a permanent solution to waste disposal is implemented.
