By Express News ServiceTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A row erupted between Attukal ward councillor Beena RC and residents over a truckload of material that was about to be dumped on a vacant plot adjacent to Attukal temple on Friday night. It all started when locals and Attukal temple trust members interrupted a lorry, which they alleged, was carrying foul-smelling waste and the councillor said was C&D (Construction and Demolition) debris. According to Beena, load had been brought to level the land to facilitate road construction to two houses languishing at the edge of the land. The temple trust is against the road, she added. The temple trust, however, differs and states that the dumped material poses difficulty to devotees coming to the temple..
