I dont think perungudi will ever be cleaned up as it requires tremendous political will which is comlpetely lacking in our country

Seems vasan is a builder holding few properties around garbage yard & STP. I am crossing the places everyday & it horribly STINKS. ITS NOT A PLACE WHERE PPL CAN LIVE. Historically used as a dumpyard & a place to route sewage of the city, not suitable for residential purposes. but ppl live there because of constraints – most of them under rent. If you really want to buy apartment avoid this area.

I know that area… Everybody wants STP to go. It will happen with court cases pending. That’s why they are behind committee members with all kind of stories.

But i think lot of people are commenting without any knowledge of that area. And comments like ‘stinking can be felt even near the toll plaza’ is off the limits. I think people should comment if they know the facts. I think they write their own version of story after seeing newspaper article.

I did not find any smell even when i went close to STP. Just check it up yourself.

The situation of the residents spread across perungudi are very pathetic by two menaces at the backyards, the garbage dumping yard and the sewerage treatment plant , the stinking can be felt even near the Toll plaza and its creating a lot of health problems to people around this place. Dumping still continues and the STP is as always a big headache spreading dirty smell. Hope the authorities converned realise the problems faced by the residents and bring an end to this 2 big problems.

Already Environmentalists has forced govt to stop the burning & dumping issue. They should do the same with Perungudi sewage treatment plant (STP).

Lets take a step back and see the whole picture. The place was never inhabitable. It didnt become a dumping yard overnight. Assuming they stop dumping and start cleaning, does anyone have any idea how many years it would take to sanitise the place ? To be honest and blunt, its the greedy house owners who went there inspite of knowing the problem. Am really sorry to add salt to the wound. But its just the fact. Cut your loses atleast now, vacate your houses and move to an inhabitable place. My sympathies are with you. But my common sense says it will be atleast a decade before it becomes a clean place. Good luck

This area used to be a neglected area where all muncipalities around south chennai used it as the waste dumping ground for years only last 4-5 yrs it has changed. still many place in that sector is used for that purpose.. with more people moving in and court cases like the current one will change the area over time but that will take time.
