The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB), in coordination with the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), removed around 132 kg of biomedical waste from the banks of Narayanapuram Lake in South Kolathur.
A complaint from Corporation zone 14 was filed with the TNPCB regarding biomedical waste dumped near the lake. After inspection by TNPCB officials and GCC zonal officers, the dumped biomedical waste was collected and handed over to the Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility of G.J. Multiclave (India) Pvt. Ltd. for safe and scientific disposal.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, rejected a plea by former special Director General of Police (DGP) Rajesh Das to restore the electricity service connection to a bungalow in Thaiyur near Kelambakkam in Chengalpattu district, and to restrain Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) officials from disturbing the power supply in future.
