Indiscriminate dumping of solid waste along the roadside here is a concern for local people and motorists as the perennial issue remains unchecked.
Heaps of garbage, mostly plastic waste and used areca plates, are dumped at many places along the Outer Ring Road that connects Kokkarayanpettai with Thindal. Most of the garbage is dumped by hoteliers, workers from marriage halls and by motorists.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
