Why Tax People when garbage is not collected? AIADMK Councillors stage protest in Coimbatore Council Meet

Amid the regular council meeting led by Mayor Kalpana Anandakumar, AIADMK councilors creatively protested by bringing garbage to Victoria Hall, Coimbatore, questioning the rationale behind taxing uncollected waste.


Coimbatore: A Coimbatore City Municipal Council meeting chaired by Mayor Kalpana Anandakumar was marked by an unusual demonstration by AIADMK councilors. Protesting the unremoved garbage within the municipal limits, the councilors brought trash to the meeting, showcasing their dissent with the message, "Why tax for uncollected waste?". The meeting, held at Victoria Hall, is expected to pass significant resolutions.

The AIADMK councilors' demonstration highlights the ongoing issue of waste management in the city and raises questions about the efficiency of the municipal services. By bringing the waste directly to the council meeting, they emphasized the urgency of addressing the city's sanitation challenges. The protest also calls into question the justification of imposing taxes on citizens for services that are not adequately provided.
