Mysore/Mysuru: In a fresh headache for the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), which is already grappling with solid waste management issues, dumping sites and non-segregation of waste at the source, residents of Old Kesare have opposed the dumping of waste at the Old Kesare Solid Waste Treatment Plant.
Yesterday, vehicles heading towards the Plant to dump waste were turned back by angry residents. Members of the Janaspandana Hitarakshana Samithi, along with many local residents, halted vehicles carrying garbage to the Solid Waste Treatment Plant, sending them back. The protesters stopped two trucks and 22 auto tippers at the Plant's gate, insisting that no additional waste would be allowed to be dumped.
