THE Kerala government has completed the removal of the waste, originating from Kerala, which was illegally dumped in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district, and transported it back to the state. While 18 trucks of waste were transported to Kerala on Sunday, another 12 trucks carried the waste on Monday.
