Summary:
This comes just two weeks after Pallavaram Municipality officials cleared heaps of medical waste only a few feet away from this spot along the river bank. The repeated dumping of medical and domestic wastes on this river bank - one of the two major rivers of Chennai - continues unabated as the responsible persons were not yet identified. The fresh heaps of medical wastes was spotted on Thursday morning by Pughalvendhan V, a local activist. He said there were used syringes, masks and other biomedical medical wastes. This continues to pose a huge threat to the environment as the person or organisation that dumps medical waste on the banks are not yet identified..
