Ludhiana: 5 years on, defunct carcass plant still awaits relocation

Published by Parlour News

Nearly five years after the municipal corporation spent around ₹8 crore on establishing a carcass disposal plant at Nurpur Bet under the Smart City project, the facility continues to remain defunct, with the civic body still unable to identify an alternative site for its relocation amid repeated public opposition. The defunct carcass plant at Nurpur Bet in Ludhiana on Wednesday. (Gurpreet Singh/HT) The plant was set up in 2021 to scientifically dispose of dead animals and address public health concerns caused by carcasses lying in open areas. However, residents of Nurpur Bet opposed its functioning from the outset, alleging that the facility would lead to foul smell and air pollution in the area.

Doubts cast shadow over KTR relocation project

Published by Parlour News

Questions and doubts have been raised over the legalities of the relocation of 339 families from Kali Tiger Reserve (KTR) in the State, based on documentary evidence and official replies in the Assembly. Though the relocation has been described as voluntary and touted as a model, activists find it intriguing that applications of 99 families who had filed for claims under the Forest Rights Act (FRA) had been rejected. The fact that the Forest Department had rejected their applications for restoration of traditional rights under FRA indicates that they could not prove their bona fides and hence were encroachers, argue the activists. It was pointed out that in the reply to a question raised by Abhay Patil, MLA, in the Legislative Assembly on December 18, Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister Eshwar B. Khandre stated that 339 families had been relocated from villages and hamlets within the limits of 10 gram panchayats between 2022 and 2025. He also revealed that claims of 99 families under the FRA had either been rejected or were still pending. The …
