Kerala begins removal of biomedical waste illegally dumped in Tamil Nadu
Chennai: The Kerala government has initiated the removal of illegally dumped biomedical waste in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district, with four individuals arrested for their alleged involvement in the dumping. The operation follows a directive from the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which ordered the removal of the waste within three days.
Approximately 16 truckloads of biomedical waste, including blood samples and other hazardous materials, were dumped across five villages in Tirunelveli. The illegal disposal has raised significant environmental and public health concerns, including the risk of infectious disease outbreaks and contamination of soil and water sources.
The hazardous waste is suspected to have originated from Kerala hospitals, including the Thiruvananthapuram Regional Cancer Centre and Credence Hospital. Environmentalists have questioned whether these institutions adhere to mandatory biomedical waste management protocols.
The incident has also sparked political controversy in Tamil Nadu. The opposition criticised the ruling DMK government, alleging inaction against illegal dumping. In response, the DMK accused the previous AIADMK government of allowing such practices and highlighted its efforts to monitor and address the issue.
The waste clearance, which began on Sunday, continues under the joint supervision of officials from Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
