The Udhagamandalam Municipality organised a cleaning drive at a site on Wednesday which was being used by a section of local residents as an illegal dumping ground for both compostable and non-compostable waste.
The dumping ground, located in Rose Mount in Udhagamandalam town, was being used by a section of residents to dump domestic waste. The open dumping of waste was both a health hazard, and also attracted rats and wild boar into the residential areas, alleged the residents in complaints to the municipality and to the office of the District Collector.
