This inexcusable action occurred on Monday afternoon. A municipality van entered into a site adjacent to the Titanium factory and left as soon as the dumping was done. The interesting fact is that already a great amount of waste has been dumped by the municipality in the previous days. However, the culprits were identified by the residents on Monday only.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-15158\" alt=\"veli waste\" src=\"http:\/\/news.entecity.com\/files\/2013\/12\/veli-waste.jpg\" width=\"563\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2013\/12\/veli-waste.jpg 1632w, https:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2013\/12\/veli-waste-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">The dumping site happens to be a residential area and is close to Shambhuvattom LP School.

Their response was like they will continue to do it. Maybe they will do it at night after some days since people here are having a good watch at daytime.\u00a0Already there are a lot of health issues because of Titanium factory, now this too. When it rains, things will get worse\u201d said Jagan, a resident who saw this incident and reported this through his Facebook account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waste dumping by Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation in Kochu Veli premises is causing great concern for the residents there.
