"dump-yard"

Garbage being dumped on the river bank, polluting the river water, despite warnings by the higher officials on several occasions

Narasimha Reddy, former vice-sarpanch of the village, said the government had permitted a host of chemical industries around their village which made their life difficult. Saying that many villagers were falling sick due to release of poisonous gases, Narasimha Reddy said the dump yard would further make life difficult for them

 Soon, a large-scale and meticulous effort to remove the construction waste and restore the structure was launched, which resulted in the removal of tonnes of debris from the well.

Though the dump yard caught fire a number of times earlier, municipal authorities could not take adequate steps to put an end to the problem.
