T'Puram corporation bans burning of waste near roadside trees

In a major victory for environmentalists in the capital, the citizen group ‘Tree Walk’ has succeeded in its campaign against the harmful practice of burning waste under trees. The Thiruvananthapuram Corporation has issued a circular prohibiting the burning of dry leaves and waste beneath roadside trees, following persistent efforts by the group. For the past two years, ‘Tree Walk’ has been raising concerns about the damage caused to trees, particularly a large ficus tree at PMG Junction. The circular, issued by the municipal secretary, instructs health inspectors to ensure sanitation workers do not engage in waste burning near trees.
