Nakhon ratchasima: Unauthorized individuals have reportedly dumped over 100 pig heads into a municipal water supply, causing a foul odor and raising concerns about potential water contamination. Police are actively searching for those responsible, fearing the incident could adversely affect water quality.

According to Thai News Agency, the incident took place in a pond located in the Royal Commemoration Park, Buayai Subdistrict, Buayai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Villagers first reported the foul odor emanating from the water source, where upon closer inspection, they discovered hundreds of decomposing pig heads floating in the pond. The pig heads have been present since June 29th, leading to a strong stench and concerns about pollution.

Villagers who went fishing in the pond initially mistook the floating objects for garbage but quickly realized they were pig heads, numbering over 100. Some pig heads were already decomposing, emitting a foul smell, and causing foam to form on the water's surface. The villagers promptly alerted Buayai Municipal officials, who swiftly removed the pig heads to prevent further contamination of the water supply.

Ms. La-or Kodangklang, a member of the Buayai Municipal Council, emphasized the critical role of the pond as a source of raw water for tap water production. She condemned the dumping of pig heads as highly inappropriate, highlighting the negative impact on the water supply system.

Local residents are calling on authorities to expedite the investigation, identify those responsible for this act, and implement legal measures to prevent any recurrence of such incidents in the future.
