Authorities Address Foul Odor from Buried Chicken Carcasses in Chachoengsao
Local officials in Bang Khla district are working to mitigate a strong odor caused by buried chicken carcasses, with expectations for improvement within a week.
Residents in Samet Nuea, Bang Khla district, Chachoengsao province, have reported a pervasive and unpleasant odor emanating from an area where chicken carcasses were buried. Following public complaints, local authorities, including the Bang Khla District Chief and the Chief of the Samet Nuea Subdistrict Administrative Organization, conducted an on-site inspection alongside livestock officials and the farm owner.
To address the immediate impact on the community, officials have applied EM fertilizer and lime to the affected soil to neutralize the smell.
