Puttur, Aug 18, 2023: An attempt to dump sewage waste from Kerala at Ukkuda on the Kalladka-Kanhangad Highway was foiled by alert citizens. Local residents managed to intercept the vehicle carrying the sewage waste on August 16, Wednesday.
It may be recalled that the dumping of sewage waste at Kepu Chelladka in Vittal a few days ago had created much uproar. Even then locals had trapped the vehicle and handed it over to the police.
But within a few days the same vehicle was back with sewage waste and an attempt to dump it was done at Ukkuda. However locals managed to chase the vehicle and intercept it. Later the vehicle and the driver were handed over to police.
