Pollution caused by food outlet operating from residential area


05-Jan-2023 (In Civil Law)
I am from virdhachalam. One small unit operates in our street making snack items, packing and dispatching using country oven with ground nut husk and fire wood. 6 ovens. More smoke. Nearby few thatched houses are there. Last month due to fire from the unit one nearby house completely burnt. Owners paid money to police. Police by all means discourage house owner not to complain as they will face hazel for years. So can't get help from them. Where to complain? Unit still operates. No compensation also given.

Every municipality or corporation do have sanitary inspectors who are in charge for sanitation and other health related issues. Further every corporation and municipality's do have online reporting system to rectify the troubles and issues causing health hazards. A complaint could be lodged on line and wait for the actions taken in response to your complaint. Alternatively your complaint's could also be posted which will serve its purpose when the same is redressed before the Collector of the District or Revenue Divisional Officer on the progress/result of your complaint.
