State Human Rights Commission member R. Natarajan has asked for a report from the Alappuzha Municipality secretary on a petition filed by the Human Rights Protection Council on waste illegally dumped in various parts of the town.

The petition filed by Council State secretary G. Samuel had alleged that waste was being illegally dumped in the town and authorities were not taking any action to remove the waste. The South CI has been asked to conduct night patrolling to prevent illegal dumping of waste.
