NKTV News Report: CM Orders Probe into Foul Odour from Purabi Dairy Plant in Panjabari

Following an NKTV news report highlighting the foul smell emanating from the Purabi Dairy plant in Panjabari, Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma has directed officials to conduct an investigation into the matter.

The Chief Minister issued the directive on Tuesday after the Cabinet meeting. Following his instructions, officials from the concerned departments swung into action. A team from the Pollution Control Board visited the Purabi Dairy plant, accompanied by officials from the Food Safety Department, to examine the situation.

The foul odour emanating from the industrial unit had caused considerable inconvenience to residents of the surrounding areas. The situation had also disrupted normal academic activities, forcing several educational institutions to suspend classes.

Local residents alleged that despite repeated complaints, the authorities had failed to take adequate action to address the problem.

Following NKTV’s coverage of the issue, the Chief Minister has now ordered an investigation, prompting the concerned authorities to take up the matter.
