The Hindu had carried a report highlighting the problem
The Greater Chennai Corporation has begun cleaning up the dump in Mogappair East locality that had been seeing indiscriminate throwing of garbage and was consequently posing a health hazard to the residents.
The open space at the intersection of Justice Rathnavel Pandian Road and Oori Road has many houses and small business outlets in the vicinity.
The Hindu had highlighted the issue in a report on Monday. The clean-up was carried out as part of the mass cleaning drive launched by the civic body, the officials said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
