Waste affects village

PERUNDURAI: Every month for the past four months, land in Ingur is being pounded left, right and centre.

The ‘bombing’ comes from vehicles that are found to be moving about stealthily in the night.

The vehicles that move stealthily are not in the air but on roads - vans - and what they drop are bags of solid waste, gathered as waste from processing industries in nearby SIPCOT industrial complex.

All along the Ingur-Perundurai Railway Station Road one can easily spot bags of solid waste thrown every few feet. The bags have withered away and the solid waste is strewn all around.
