Poisonous Clouds of Smoke Causes Threat to Institutions and Residential Areas Around
Sri Vijaya Puram, Jan 17: It was only couple of years ago that the City’s Municipal Council had claimed that it was able to contain the poisonous smoke that was emitted 24x7 for years together from its Brookshabad Dumping Site. The round the year emission of poisonous smoke created by burning of unsegregated waste, had become a dangerous threat to the surroundings. It was only after due deliberations with experts that the Municipal Council could understand how to contain the pollution. The solution was simple; it was to segregate the waste from the house hold level, which had made the Council make tall claims about its achievement.
