Residents slam CCMC for improper garbage collection and disposal
The New Indian Express Coimbatore
|March 12, 2025
Residents and social activists have raised concerns alleging negligence by sanitary workers employed by the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) in waste collection and disposal.
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."
