PUTTUR: The garbage bin in Kaniyoor town of Puttur has been overflowing with wastes since
the past six months ?thanks to the authorities who have not taken any pain to clear the garbage.
The entire area is stinking with the rotten wastes and animal carcass which are dumped in the
garbage bin. The villagers are particularly sore over the Kaniyoor Gram Panchayat which has
turned a blind eye to the overflowing garbage bin with wastes strewn all over. Villagers express
their anguish by stating that the Gram Panchayat was in slumber.
A few months ago when several people in Kaniyoor had contracted a mysterious fever, the
Kaniyoor GP had urged the Government to appoint a medical officer for the local primary health
centre, and had even threatened of a severe protest otherwise.
Villagers are now questioning if the Gram Panchayat through its apathy towards garbage
disposal was trying to gift diseases to the people.
