The residential areas in Ambikapuram, behind the Ariyamangalam dump yard, were inundated after Thursday's rains. The leachate from the nearby dump yard had mixed with the rainwater and was stagnating on the streets. There has been no action despite several petitions submitted to the district administration, residents complained.
As it continued to rain throughout the day, the people struggled to navigate streets inundated with black-coloured water. The area, which is located immediately after the Ariyamangalam dump yard on the Thanjavur Road also stinks due to the smell emanating from the yard. The problem has persisted for years, the residents say.
