The civic body had given two-day time to dairy owners to stop dumping untreated waste into the Buddha Nullah, else they would have to face action.

After getting the notices, the dairy owners of Tajpur Road have sought time to meet the civic body authorities. They claimed that they dispose of waste in the right manner. In the notices, the MC said the water supply and sewerage connections of erring dairy owners would be disconnected. The MC also warned them that an FIR would be registered against the erring contractors.

President, Dairy Complexes Association, Tajpur Road, DS Oberoi said: “The civic body has given two days’ time to dairy owners to take necessary arrangements.”

“We have received notices, but we don’t dump waste in the Buddha Nullah. Earlier, the civic body assured us that a bio-gas plant would be set up, but it is yet to be set up. We will meet the MC officials on Monday,” he said.

“If the authorities want to shift us, they should give us time and make required arrangements. We can’t get the business shifted in just two-days after getting the notices,” he said.

An MC official said the process was underway to serve notices. Dairy owners have sought time for meeting on Monday, he said.

Earlier this week, Tandarust Punjab Mission director Kahan Singh Pannu had directed the authorities concerned to act against dairy owners for flouting rules by dumping their untreated waste into the Buddha Nullah. The Punjab Pollution Control Board officials had also claimed that they would serve notices to those, who dump untreated waste into the nullah.
