Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagendran has expressed concern over what other tragedies may unfold under the TVK government, which is watching idly after crossing all limits.
In this regard, he stated in a social media post:
The TVK government is in a Kumbhakarna-like sleep
In the agricultural lands and open areas of Tenkasi district, the tragedy of hazardous medical waste brought in by the ton from the neighboring state of Kerala being dumped and burned continues unabated. Even with bottles printed with “For sale in Kerala state only” and toxic waste lying in plain sight as evidence, the TVK government led by Chief Minister Vijay remains in a Kumbhakarna-like slumber, unable to monitor the border check posts.
Kerala medical waste being dumped continuously in Tamil Nadu: The TVK government watching idly while the border is left unguarded! In the agricultural lands and open spaces of Tenkasi district, the dumping and burning of hazardous medical waste brought in by the ton from neighboring Kerala has become an ongoing tragedy. With bottles and toxic waste clearly lying in plain sight, labeled “For sale in Kerala state only,” the TVK government led by Mr. @TVKVijayHQ is sunk in a Kumbhakarna-like sleep, unable to even monitor the border check posts. Could even a pin-sized piece of waste be taken from Tamil Nadu and dumped inside the Kerala border? In a situation where checks and surveillance there are extremely strict, the Tamil Nadu police and the TVK government are being so negligent that they allow the toxic waste of a neighboring state to be dumped here! This is happening not only in Tenkasi, but across all border districts. In this administration, which poisons green lands and turns Tamil Nadu into Kerala’s dumping ground, who knows what other absurdities and tragedies are yet to unfold! Therefore, at least from now on, this lethargic approach must be abandoned, and after speaking with the Chief Minister of Kerala, Chief Minister Mr. Joseph Vijay must immediately put an end to this issue. I urge that surveillance at border check posts be intensified, vehicles smuggling Kerala’s waste into Tamil Nadu be immediately seized, and strict action be taken by filing cases under the Goondas Act against anti-social elements who are playing with the people’s health.

Can it be dumped inside the Kerala border?
Can even a pinhead-sized piece of waste be taken from Tamil Nadu and dumped inside the Kerala border? In a situation where inspections and surveillance there are so strict, the Tamil Nadu police and the TVK government are being this careless to the point of allowing the dumping of toxic waste from a neighboring state here! This is happening not only in Tenkasi, but across all border districts. In this administration, which is poisoning green lands and turning Tamil Nadu into Kerala’s dumping ground, who knows what other absurdities and tragedies are yet to unfold!
The vehicles must be seized
Therefore, from now on, Chief Minister Joseph Vijay should stop this lethargic approach, speak with the Kerala Chief Minister, and immediately put an end to this issue. He has urged that surveillance at border check posts be intensified, vehicles smuggling Kerala waste into Tamil Nadu be immediately seized, and stringent action be taken against anti-social elements playing with the public’s health by registering cases under the Goondas Act.
