Cow Dung-Contaminated Wastewater Overflows Roads in Ludhiana's Tajpur Dairy Complex
Wastewater mixed with cow dung has been flowing onto roads in Ludhiana's Tajpur Dairy Complex, causing sanitation concerns and movement difficulties. Dairy owners and the Municipal Corporation have blamed each other for inadequate waste management. The dairy association cited the closure of a wastewater filtration system, while municipal officials pointed to the limited capacity of the existing effluent treatment plant. Authorities plan to clear blockages and build a second treatment plant to address the issue.
