Residents present in this Navalur spoke about how the space between the gated communities on the IT corridor and the canal has become a dump yard now because of mounds of waste dumped here regularly.
The two main issues that have come out now are the burning of the garbage plus the bad smell from the garbage during the rains. These two issues have made the lives of many residents here very tough.

Few residents spoke about how the volume of garbage being produced and dumping here has increased more than before and as a result their lives have become difficult.

Thiruporur block office was approached by the residents and they were told about panchayat not having land for dumping the garbage.
