State Government secretly moving a waste treatment plant into the dump-yard in the in Vilappilasala panchayat under the cover of darkness when the people were asleep was a stupid act. . The anti-garbage crusade in Vilappilsala is a reasonable one as the people of that village are not obliged to hold all the malice of the entire city corporation of Thiruvananthapuram.
The corporation people are living there for their convenience and they should find their own way to dispose the waste. The waste sending to adjacent village is same as one throwing waste kit to neighbours’ compound. All sensible people, therefore, should support the intense struggle of Vilappilsala people against dumping of wastes in the yard by the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.
Why can’t the Corporation find places within its premise to dispose waste they accrue? Why the Corporation dumps waste to contaminate all their water sources of Vilappilsala? Are the people of Vilappilsala lesser human beings? Why the Corporation stopped immediately the move to dump waste to abandoned granite quarries?
The City Corporation should ask hoteliers and others to sort out their own waste disposal methods. Meanwhile it should find places within its premise to dispose waste.
