Residents living in the Ketti Valley are using the Kattery dam in the area as a dumping ground for plastic and household waste, posing a threat to wildlife using the water body.
Liquor bottles, plastic as well as household waste are being dumped in the water body indiscriminately, with little to no action being taken to stop the practice, local residents said. Due to the pollutants being dumped into the lake, water hyacinth has taken over most of the area, with the invasive species forming a thick carpet over the lake surface.
