By Sanju Soman
It has been two weeks since trash began to pile up in different parts of the city. Kudumbashree workers complain that they are losing out on their jobs. The residents of Lalur and Ollur are firm on their stand that they will not allow anymore garbage to be dumped in their area. The corporation seems to be absolutely unclear on finding a solution.
City Journal spoke to a number of flat owners who are the major sufferers in the bargain.
Anna S,
a Punkunnam resident
We have been instructed by the residents association not to dump waste in the compound. You could see a lot of waste on the Guruvayur road where most of us dispose of our garbage.
Ramachandran S,
from Koorkkencherry
The Kudumbashree workers who used to collect waste from our premises informed us that they will not be coming in the next few days. Now, we have to travel more than 1 km to dump waste in a corporation bin.
Smitha S,
a resident of Sakthan Nagar
In our compound, there are more than 50 families. The waste has been stinking. We don't have land to bury the waste. We are now afraid of epidemics.
Abdul R,
Ayyanthole
Two weeks! The corporation is least bothered. We have no place to dispose of waste. Yesterday, we buried waste in our compound as there was no other option to stop the foul smell.
Krishnan S,
flat owner at Kuriachira
The corporation collects huge amounts from us as tax each year. However, we are not benefitted. They have already approved many flat designs without facilities to dispose of waste. This is ridiculous!
