The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has asked the city corporation authorities to immediately repair the destroyed roof of the Njeliyanparamba waste dumping yard in the wake of a mass petition submitted by the local residents.
The panel took up the issue after the local people complained that the delaying repair work of the yard was causing a huge pollution threat during rainy days. A judicial commission member also visited the spot for detailed inspection and asked the corporation Secretary to submit a report in 10 days about the possible measures to address the issue. The roof was destroyed in a recent fire outbreak.
