Deva, a resident of Pulianthope, points to a pile of household waste leaking leachate near the staircase of the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB) apartment complex. When he confronts the residents adding to the garbage pile and asks them to stop, they ignore him.
Corridors and pathways within the premises of several tenements remain cluttered with garbage. While residents complain about the lack of dustbins, conservancy workers say the working conditions within the premises are difficult.
