Wanowrie Residents in Pune Struggle with Pollution from Slaughterhouse Waste

Pune: The residents of Wanowrie are really feeling the heat from a nearby slaughterhouse. It’s been discharging blood and waste right into a nalla behind their homes. This has turned their neighborhood into a stinky mess, and folks are understandably upset.

They’ve tried reaching out to the Pune Cantonment Board and even the Prime Minister’s Office, but nothing seems to change. Shivaji Shinde, who’s the Secretary of the Nancy Garden Society, shared his frustration. He said they’ve sent countless complaints, but it feels like no one is listening.

The water from that nalla is not just smelly; it’s also polluting nearby freshwater sources. Last year, the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board promised to look into it after a site visit, but here we are, still waiting for action.

People are left wondering why the authorities aren’t stepping up. Why hasn’t the slaughterhouse been held accountable? Why are residents stuck living in these awful conditions?

All they want is clean air and safe water. They’re calling for immediate action to shut down the slaughterhouse’s waste discharge and to set up proper waste management systems. It’s a simple ask, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears.
