Compound wall for dumping yard

Special Correspondent

A compound wall will be constructed at a cost of Rs.90 lakh for the dumping yard of Madurai Corporation at Vellaikkal near Avaniapuram in the city.

Mayor V.V.Rajan Chellappa, along with Corporation Commissioner R.Nanthagopal, and senior officials inspected the yard on Friday.

A press release said that about 400 tonnes of garbage and waste were brought to the dumping yard every day. It has gone up to 700 tonnes per day after new areas were added to the Corporation.

After the inspection, the Mayor said that a 4,500-metre compound wall was being constructed to prevent the entry of outsiders.
