The major issues that the village put forth were as follows:

2. The dumping of toxic chemical waste directly into the Narayani River without proper filtration.

3. The clogging of public drainage by the dumping of brewery waste creating a hazardous cesspool for various infectious diseases such typhoid and encephalitis.

4. The dumping of factory wastage such plastic, broken glasses and containers within the village community.

5. The stench produced by the acidic yeast in the neighbouring village. The dumping of it into a tributary of the Narayani, contaminating the river.

6. The immense sound pollution from operating generators, disrupting life of the neighbourhood families

7. The unethical and unlawful parking of trucks in the only public access road in the village, blocking complete flow of traffic including school buses. Despite the brewery claiming to have toilet facilities for truck drivers, the litter of human faeces along the road and on the river bank, polluting the village environment. The vulnerable situation created by the loitering of truck drivers during the night, putting the security of woman at risk. ISSUE RESOLVED
