Area near Seaport-Airport road turns septic waste dumpyard

KOCHI: Disposal of septic waste is one big problem faced by all cities. However, when unscrupulous people try to make use of this very problem to make money, it sets the stage for a serious issue that affects the health of thousands.

The road leading to the Seaport-Airport Road from HMT at Kalamassery has become the dumping ground of septic waste now. “The area which spans nearly two acres is a cesspool of septic waste from the city,” said Yasser Arafat, a trader nearby.
