| Dairies menace in city | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU , Mar 18 : The presence of dairies in various residential colonies like Residency Road, Nanak Nagar and Shastri Nagar has been causing problems for residents, who are irked at the lackadaisical attitude of the authorities. The sanitary conditions in these colonies are worst.
The residents allege that despite complaining a number of times to the Municipal Corporation, no action has been taken so far. Residents of Dalpatian colony, which is situated in the vicinity of the Chief Minister's residence in the Residency Road area, are living in hell-like conditions because of the presence of around three dairies in their colony.
The poor upkeep of the dairies leads to unhygienic conditions. The sewerage system remains blocked most of the time and the threat of an epidemic outbreak looms large over the area. Around nine SSPs, thirty-two advocates and four session judges, besides engineers and doctors are living in the residency colony.
"The drains always remain blocked in our area as the dairies generates a lot of waste every day, which is dumped into the drains," claims Shivrang Singh, a resident of the colony.
"Instead of cleaning cow dung, sweepers' dumps the collected garbage into the drains," allege residents," says Devinder Mahajan, a resident.
"I cannot use a portion of my house due to the foul smell which comes out of the dairy," he adds.".
Ramesh, a dairy owner in the colony said, "I usually receive many complaints from the residents about the foul smell.
Though I want to shift my dairy, but I have no funds to do that. If the government allots me land outside the city limits I will definitely move there," he adds.
Similar are the conditions in Nanak Nagar and Shastri Nagar."Dung and urine remain accumulated in the streets, which mean more flies and mosquitoes in the area," says Savita sharma, a resident of Nanak Nagar."
Dr Kulwant Singh, health inspector, says, "Dairies functioning from the residential areas can cause an epidemic. They are the main cause of unhygienic conditions in the colonies.
The government should take action against such dairy owners". A senior advocate says, "As per law, dairies cannot operate from residential areas. It is failure on the part of the municipal corporation to enforce the law strictly". |
