The majority of the large livestock owners
are not using the wastes as manure, but they are giving it free, in case of
demand. Therefore, these wastes are
mostly dumped in open areas, streams, and fields without any treatment.
About half of the respondents have
feverish diseases which is followed by goiter and diarrhea. On the other hand, waste water from
agro-processing plants, i.e. sugar factory, paper mills, are discharged into
streams without any treatment. Some factories have some primitive treatment
facilities but either these are not operated, or if operated are not
efficiently done so.
