Kochi Corporation unable to dispose waste at nearby plant

Reports suggest that Kochi Municipal Corporation has been unable to use the Brahmapuram waste treatment plant for processing the waste produced in the city.

This is because the Puthencruz panchayat, where the plant is located, wrote a letter to the Kochi civic body asking it not to dump the waste in the plant as it creates health hazard to its residents. This disrupted the movement of waste to Brahmapuram waste treatment plant from Kochi.

Concerned about the health implications on its residents, the panchayat wants the state government to interfere in this issue and come up with a permanent solution.

The Panchayat authorities are particularly concerned about treatment of plastic waste, which is more hazardous.

Everyday about 200 loads of garbage was sent to the Brahmapuram plant for keeping Kochi corporation a clean city. As the movement of garbage to Brahmapuram has been stopped completely, the waste produced in the city started getting dumped at all places in the Kochi corporation and have started producing bad odour.
