T Kumaravel, a resident of Mullai Nagar, said, "There is a vacant land near our street that has turned into a dump yard. Sanitary workers leave garbage bags there regularly instead of taking them to the designated collection point. To make matters worse, they burn the trash when the garbage piles start growing, leaving us to deal with the smoke and terrible stench."
