Heaps of legacy waste deposits a constant phenomenon at the facility, says report
The State Level Monitoring Committee (SLMC) on Solid Waste Management has informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that there has been no improvement in the condition of the dumping yard of the Kochi Corporation at Brahmapuram.
The committee made the observation in its report on the fire outbreak at the yard on January 18 submitted before the Southern Bench of the tribunal.
“During my inspection on January 20, water hydrants were seen operational, and no fire or smoke was observed. There is no change in the general condition of the entire dumping yard, which was detailed out in my previous report dated July 28, 2021,” said A.V. Ramakrishna Pillai, Chairman of the SLMC.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
