IN THE wake of strong agitations against dumping of municipal waste in at least half a dozen places across the state, the Kerala government in November last year issued an ordinance, making the Municipality Act of 1994 more stringent. The ordinance makes it mandatory to treat solid waste and sewage at the source itself. The ordinance was preceeded by a state-wide sanitation campaign. But neither the ordinance nor the campaign could bring reprieve to Chakkamkandam, a backwater village in Thrissur district. Residents in the village have been living with raw sewage flowing from the adjacent temple town of Guruvayur for more than three decades now.
