Uchimedu Tank Bund Association seeks MHA intervention
The Uchimedu Tank Bund Association has urged the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, Central Pollution Control Board, National Green Tribunal, and Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Government of Puducherry, to take immediate steps to stop dumping of waste around the Uchimedu tank.
G. Sathiyamoorthy, president of the Association, in his letter on December 6 wanted the MHA and CPCB to issue necessary direction to the territorial administration to stop all illegal activities near the pond.
The letter cited The Hindu report on December 2 on dumping of waste near the lake and paddy fields. In the report, the official of the Puducherry Pollution Control Board was quoted as saying the Bahour Commune panchayat has been asked to construct a wall around the place where waste was dumped.
