Why do authorities not listen to the complaints of Vahdat residents?

Local residents are complaining about the unpleasant smell from the feed factory in the village of Kholmurodi in the city of Vahdat.

Local residents report that a terrible odor lingers in several nearby villages, and according to them, it is sometimes even impossible to breathe. However, numerous complaints have yielded no results, and no official has been able to resolve this issue.

A source from the city of Vahdat, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Azda TV that the factory belongs to some official.

“Some high-ranking official built a feed production factory in the village of Kholmurodi in the city of Vahdat. No one knows who the owner of this factory is. The factory processes dead chickens, donkey bones, cows, and other animals, turning them into powder, which is then supplied to poultry farms as feed for chickens,” the source reported.

According to him, this production creates a sharp and unpleasant smell in the nearby villages.

“There is a sharp and unpleasant smell in the area, and because of the odor, residents of several nearby villages cover their faces and noses with a cloth. Residents of the villages of Lakaybegi, Gurkhurda, and Eskiguzar have been suffering from the unpleasant smell for three years,” he said.

“The smell is so strong that when we have guests, they ask what that smell is. We reply that it is the smell from the feed factory. They ask why we don’t complain to the prosecutor’s office. But they don’t know that no one hears our pain,” the source said.

According to a resident of the city of Vahdat, they have repeatedly contacted the relevant authorities, but no one has taken action.

“We, the residents of these villages, have written statements several times. I personally collected signatures from residents, but no one hears us,” he said.

Attempts by Azda TV to identify the owner or anyone from the management of the factory have been unsuccessful.
