m, Friday, January 06, 2012: The Kerala Lok Ayukta on Friday stayed the Vilappil panchayat’s move to shut down the garbage treatment plant at Vilappilsala.The Vilappil panchayat authorities had earlier passed a resolution to shut down the controversial plant and informed that garbage trucks will not be allowed to enter the plant.
Following the panchayat’s move the city Corporation had decided to suspend the trash collection which resulted the piling up of heaps of garbage in city streets. The corporation has also approached the High Court against the panchayat’s move to close down the plant.
The stench emanating from the waste has made life miserable for local people and passersby. Rodents, mosquitoes, and flies thrive here. Garbage also lies accumulated in various parts of the town. The city dwellers opined that they fear an outbreak of contagious diseases.
Uncertainty is looming large over the garbage disposal in Thiruvananthapuram city with the Vilappilsala solid-waste treatment plant being shut down by the panchayat authorities.
With the residents of Vilappilsala kicking up a big stink over the garbage treatment plant and the city corporation deciding to stop collection of waste from flats, apartments and hotels, a major crisis regarding waste treatment is looming over the city.
