Rapid pace of urbanisation is a cause of concern for farmers as garbage continues to be illegally dumped along farm land in many villages located on the city outskirts. Hundreds of farm lands are being converted as housing plots, particularly in villages that come under the panchayats of Lakkapuram, 6 Pudur, Kaspapettai, Kadirampatti and Perode. Of the total 225 village panchayats in the district, Modakkurichi has 23 village panchayats while Erode has six. Farm lands on the outskirts continue to be converted as plots and residential areas are coming up in many areas. Though door-to-door garbage is collected by the workers of the panchayats, dumping of garbage on farm lands, vacant spaces and along the road is happening at many places raising concern among the farming community.More Related News
