The city corporation on Tuesday slapped a notice and initiated legal action against the Thiruvananthapuram division of the Southern Railways for dumping waste in a private property near Kumarapuram in the state capital.
The special night squad under the civic body caught the violation red-handed during the wee hours of Monday and took the vehicle and the drivers into custody. The corporation has initiated action under sections 336, 340, and 340(B) of the Kerala Municipality Act and has served a seven-day show cause notice on the Railways' divisional manager.
"This is the second time the Railways have committed such an offence by dumping waste in public places," Mayor Arya Rajendran told TNIE. "Ideally, they should be setting examples for the public but repeating a severe offence again and again can't be treated as a mistake. We offered our assistance but they never approached us for any help."
