Chennai Floods have created more troubles for people. The floods have been flushed out, but the mire surrounding areas are creating more trouble. Residents of a colony of ex-servicemen in south Chennai say they have had to face yet another scarring ordeal. The garbage are still found in every corner.
Ex-servicemen who live in Defence colony are worried about the garbage and piles of unusable household junk such as furniture and mattresses. But to clear garbage and the junk it seems, municipal workers are demanding bribes of Rs.5000.
A resident of the colony, VB Menon said that, "The Municipal workers are refusing to take the garbage and junk without money. They cleared only for those who pay them two to five thousand rupees. The garbage still remains here. They never cleared it."
Another resident Arun Vishwanathan said, "Due to this junk, there is a huge risk of rain prone diseases. We are already down and are emotionally broken. What they do is harassment." Regarding this issue, Vikram Kapoor said, "We will look intot he issue immediately."
