This India Today ground report from Tenkasi reveals a dual crisis of rampant illegal stone quarrying and the dumping of hazardous medical waste. Drone footage exposes how mineral resources are being moved out of Tamil Nadu into Kerala, while trucks returning from Kerala allegedly dump toxic medical waste, including used syringes, in local farmlands. An unidentified speaker highlighted that while permits are issued for limited units, vehicles carry double the capacity, depleting the region’s natural wealth. Activists claim nearly 80 crushers are operating in the area, causing significant environmental damage. Residents expressed deep concern over the ‘Kali Pudungudal’ process being hampered by pollution and the threat to their ancestral paddy fields. The report emphasizes that the local population is demanding government intervention to stop excessive mining and the illegal inflow of waste, which they state is posing a severe health threat and spreading disease in the ancient district.
