Kochi: Kerala High Court today admitted a written petition seeking police protection to run the Vilappilsala garbage treatment plant at Thiruvananthapuram.
Admitting the petition by Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, complaining of threat from Vilappilsala Panchayat authorities, a division bench, comprising Acting Chief Justice, Manjula Chelloor and Justice P R Ramachandra Menon issued notices to the Panchayat and police through a special messenger.
Earlier the panchayat had closed the unit forcefully. According to Corporation, this act of panchayat amounts to taking law into hands.
There has been a standoff between Thiruvananthapuram city corporation and the village panchyat on the outskirts, where the waste processing plant is located, with locals there demanding that it be re located as its presence was causing serious health problems in the area.
