Chennai residents, pressure groups ask GCC to scrap proposed waste-to-energy incinerator in Kodungaiyur

New Indian Express  

Chennai residents and the Alliance for Incinerator-Free Chennai members submitted a petition to the Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner on Tuesday demanding the scrapping of the proposed Waste-to-Energy incinerator plant in Kodungaiyur. Over 200 residents, civil society organisations and environmentalists endorsed the representation letter, said environmental activists and contributors for Citizen Matters, Vishvaja Sambath and Lokeshwaran ES. According to them, the proposed WTE plant will process 2,100 tons of mixed garbage daily in an area that already hosts 36 red-category factories and the city's largest garbage dump. “We are poor and we mostly work as daily wage labourers, but we are also living beings, we are also people of India who have equal rights to live a dignified life,” he added.
