E.V.R Street behind the Tiruchi Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital has become a dumping ground for domestic waste. Sanitary workers blame the residents, claiming that they do not hand over the waste when the waste collection vehicles go to collect them.
E.V.R. Street is home to a few apartment complexes and a hostel. A few small shacks serving breakfast also line the street, which is cluttered with plastic and food waste. The buildings are inhabited by wealthy individuals but the road facing the buildings is in a poor state.
Breeding of mosquitoes and other insects could cause infections, residents said. The eateries which serve food dump food waste wrapped in banana leaves here. It leads to dogs and pigs feeding on them, they added.
