Thiruvananthapuram Collector’s report contradicts Corporation’s claim on Attukal Pongala cleanup

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled Thiruvananthapuram Corporation is facing criticism for its waste management after the Attukal Pongala festival, with a report contradicting the Mayor's claims of quick cleanup. The District Collector's report states that waste removal took three days, while the Mayor had claimed it was completed within a few hours. The Left Democratic Front (LDF) has accused the Corporation of failing in its responsibilities and organized clean-up activities at the Government Sanskrit College campus after finding significant waste accumulation.
