The delay in the biomining in the landfill has been creating issues for many residents belonging to Kodungaiyur now. It is important to note that the foul smell from the facility has been unbearable for the residents with every passing year. Many residents in Kodungaiyur are unhappy and upset now.
It was brought to light by a resident that there would be atleast one fire at the dump yard leading to severe smoke. He added that during the rainy season, the foul smell becomes unbearable.He concluded that the residents here have been suffering all round the year.
It is really shocking to mention that the relatives of these residents are hesitant to visit the houses here due to the foul smell. These days, more lorries with garbage come to the dumpyard.
The dumpyard in Kodungaiyur has been in use for the last 35 years and waste from zones 1 to 8 come to this place only. It must be taken into account that neighbourhoods such as Nethaji Nagar, Krishnamoorthy Nagar, Rajarathinam Nagar, Korukkupet, Suseela Nagar, KM Nagar and Bharathi Nagar etc fall within 3 km radius of the dumpyard. In both urban body local elections and in Assembly elections, biomining of wasteland has been used as an electoral promise.
