Residents, farmers protest proposed biogas plant

“Earlier, public support stopped a solid waste management plant there. Now, the government is once again preparing to compromise on people’s health. If the biogas plant is built in the fodder market, it will render the space unusable, leaving farmers without storage for fodder. The corporation and government should conduct a study before establishing the plant,” said Pargat. He that it should only be installed in the dairy complex after complying with all regulations.

He warned that he stands with Jamsher’s people. The plant will not be allowed inside the fodder market. He will not back down, even if it requires fighting every possible battle. During the protest, Adampur MLA Sukhwindar Singh Kotli also cautioned that he has opposed the CNG plant construction in Bhogpur for two years. He has not allowed even a single brick to be laid there, as it poses a deadly hazard and major health risks.

He stands with those opposing the Jamsher plant. Farmer organization’s district head Jathedar Kulwinder Singh issued an ultimatum to the municipal corporation and government until January 23. He said if they do not withdraw their decision, they will demolish the structure on January 23.
