SEEKING directions to remove copper slag dumped in the bunds of Uppar River, Korampallam channel, along the Thoothukudi-Tirunelveli national highway and other parts of Thoothukudi district, another public interest litigation (PIL) petition was filed before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.
-
According to the petitioner, P Rajasekar Subbiah of Thoothukudi, the copper manufacturing unit of Vedanta Group's 'Sterlite' dumped copper slag weighing around 3.5 lakh tonnes near Uppar River, forming a heap of 50 feet. During heavy rains in 2015, the dumped waste obstructed the flow of flood water from the river, leading to severe inundation in the surrounding areas, he added.
