Hi,
This issue is regarding the diary farm in a residential area.
There is dairy farm which is operating by the family with 20 buffaloes, this diary farm is creating a lot of problems in the area as there is no cleanliness in the area and the smell is very foul always and because of the buffaloes there are huge no flies which is contaminating the water area around and these flies come and sit on the food also contaminating it and this is causing health issues.
Is there any legal way to tackle this problem?

Dear Mr. Prashant,
1. If the dairy farm is privately owned then you cannot have it shut down.
2. As for the environmental issues you can file complaint with the local municipal authorities to check the menace of pollution.

You have every right to get that diary farm closed from the residential area as the free air and cleanliness is your constitutional and fundamental right and even such activities are not permitted in anyway in the residential area.
You can initiate multiple actions viz. filing a criminal complaint under section 145 of Criminal Procedure Code before SDM, filing civil suit under section 91 of CPC and making complaint with the municipal authorities.
