During the visit, it was found that there were over 100 cattle in the dairy and huge sheds were constructed inside it. The dairy owner, who also reached the spot, failed to produce any document to the Municipal Corporation team. He asked the MC team to give him one-month time to shift the dairy. He would vacate the land within a month.

On the instructions of the higher authorities, the MC team asked the dairy owner to give it in writing that he would vacate the land within a month. The team members told the dairy owner that if failed to do so, legal action would be taken against him.

Municipal Health Officer Kiran Kumar said the civic body had launched a campaign to remove illegal dairies being run within the Municipal Corporation limits.
