After more than a month of piled-up biodegradable waste that left the Thrikkakara municipality reeking, municipal authorities on Tuesday evening began removing the waste from the dumping yard adjacent to the municipal office.
The Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) had disrupted the municipal council meeting on Tuesday over the issue. The meeting also witnessed protests by Haritha Karma Sena members, who raised concerns about the health risks of working in the foul-smelling dumping yard. The meeting was abruptly adjourned after the agenda was declared approved.
