Rumen Dimitrov Alerts 3 Institutions About the Smell of Pig Waste in Pazardzhik

For at least 6 years, residents of Pazardzhik have been complaining and expressing dissatisfaction with the persistent and almost daily smell of pig waste. Initially, it mainly bothered Pazardzhik residents during the summer months, but for some time now, the smell of pig feces has not been limited to seasons. In an attempt to identify the causes and neutralize the problem, today municipal councilor Rumen Dimitrov alerted three institutions based on their respective competencies.

He is convinced that determining the causes of the persistent smell of pig excrement is not an impossible task, and therefore sent an official signal to three institutions: the Regional Inspectorate for Environmental Protection, the Regional Health Inspectorate, and the Regional Food Safety Agency.

"These are the institutions that must vigilantly monitor the activities of pig complexes near Pazardzhik because the smell comes from them. Specifically, I assume that the odors come from two objects – the pig complex in the direction of Yunatsite and Velichkovo, located in the "Zaykovi mandri" area. I have described the property numbers in detail in the signal so that the institutions do not wonder where the fecal odors are coming from. I believe the second air polluter is in the "Lamburkite" area near the village of Sinitevo.

Recently, the smells have become unbearable. We all live in this city and experience them. This usually happens early in the morning, in the evening, or on weekends.

I believe that no one is against business. On the contrary – we want companies to work and create jobs, but let it be done according to the rules. Because the citizens of Pazardzhik are not obliged to accept this unbearable stench as a given and part of normality," Rumen Dimitrov commented to "Maritsa".

We will monitor the institutions' response and inform you promptly about any potential actions they take.

If state bodies respond in a coordinated manner and conduct real on-site inspections, the problem can be specifically localized and resolved. Otherwise, the smell will remain not just an inconvenience, but a sign of a lack of effective control over activities that directly affect the quality of life in the city.
