Viral Video Shows Sanitation Worker Dumping Garbage on Vadavalli Streets

A video of a sanitation worker throwing collected household waste on the streets of Chinmaya Nagar, Vadavalli in Coimbatore, has gone viral, raising questions from the locals.


Coimbatore: A shocking incident in Vadavalli has caught the public's eye after a cellphone video surfaced online, showing a municipal sanitation worker nonchalantly throwing household waste onto the side of the road. This practice, captured on May 2, has sparked considerable outrage on social media.


Typically, municipal workers in the Vadavalli area are tasked with gathering decomposable and non-decomposable waste from residences to be transported to dumpsites. However, there have also been occasions where the public has been fined by municipal employees for disposing of garbage along the streets, suggesting an ongoing battle against improper waste disposal in the area.


The officials have been conducting various awareness programs to educate the public on proper waste disposal techniques. Despite these efforts, the emergence of the viral video has led to criticism towards the sanitation department, with locals questioning whether action will be taken against the worker involved. This event underscores the challenges faced in enforcing municipal regulations and maintaining cleanliness in urban neighborhoods.
