The illegal dumping of waste along HMT Road and Seaport-Airport stretch in Kalamassery continues unabated.
The menace of illegal dumping in HMT estate, Seaport-Airport Road and NAD Road came to the fore again after a team of judges of the Kerala High Court, who visited the proposed site of the Judicial City on 27 acres at HMT estate on February 17, expressed concerns over the waste piles there. The court had ordered concrete steps to clear the heaps of waste on HMT Road and in nearby areas.
A team of officials of the health wing had launched a clean-up campaign last week following the directive. A section of the waste dump along HMT Road was cleared in a drive involving members of the Haritha Karma Sena and employees of the health wing of the municipality.
