Chamarajanagar: Stone quarries in and around Hirikati village of Gundlupet have dumped huge quantities of their waste on the side of National Highway-766 leading to Mysuru , posing a threat to commuters, especially two-wheeler riders.
Unable to find a proper dumping ground as required by the Indian Bureau of Mines in the face of opposition from villagers to their waste being deposited in their fields and turning them barren, the quarry owners are now depositing their waste on the side of the national highway.
