The animal waste dumped by Al-Kabeer in the open grounds adjacent to Eradanur tanda has not cleared despite the Pollution Control Board (PCB) issuing orders. The mechanised slaughter house Al-Kabeer was to clear the biological waste at the earliest.
The representatives of Al-Kabeer as on Wednesday were still getting the animal waste buried digging the plot and covering it with gravel instead of treating it in rendering plant. A police official who visited the village to check the complaint of the villagers on whether there was any adverse impact of pollution, admitted that it was unbearable. “I do not know how they are living here. It’s surely unbearable,” the police officer commented.
The villagers, who visited the dumping site, along with the police official showed how the animal waste was still there which was not sent to rendering plant as directed by the PCB.

“Why have the PCB officials failed in taking action against the Al-Kabeer which has not implemented the directions? What for are they waiting? How much time they want to give to the industry?” asked N. Paramesh and N. Dinesh Singh, two of the villagers.
The PCB had directed the Al- Kabeer to submit action taken report by January 10 stating that its official would visit and submit a report on January 12. In a recent meeting at the PCB office chaired by Member Secretary P. Satyanarayana Reddy the officials informed that all was well at Eradanur tanda and not more than five days after the meeting the situation glaringly pointed out at the prevailing conditions.
