Veterinary Dept looking into cause of river pollution

SEREMBAN: The Veterinary Services Department is investigating whether illegal pig and frog farming activities are polluting a river in Port Dickson’s Site C New Village. It is learnt that pig farming was still being carried out in the area although it was banned following the outbreak of the Nipah virus about 20 years ago.

State Department of Environment (DoE) officers started the probe after getting complaints from residents on March 31, said Negri Sembilan Health, Environment, Cooperatives and Consumerism Committee chairman S. Veerapan (pic).
