Guwahati: A milk chilling plant in Assam's Sivasagar district sits empty today. Built during the 2011-12 fiscal year, the project aimed to help local dairy farmers store their haul. It never cooled a single drop of milk. Taxpayer money bought high-end chilling equipment, a generator, and office gear. Now, the gear just rots.
Residents call the site a ghost building. Weeds choke the entrance. Valuable machinery decays behind locked doors as the structure falls to ruin. No workers have shown up to the plant for months. Instead of staff, snakes and wild animals moved into the facility.
Locals want an investigation into the project. They say the site serves as a monument to administrative failure. One resident described the scene simply: the abandoned centre has now become a habitat for snakes and other wild animals instead of serving the thousands of dairy farmers who were expected to benefit from the project.
People living nearby demand accountability for the vanished funds. They want the government to either fix the plant or answer for the total waste of resources.
