Kerala to End Phase 1 of Waste Management Action Plan on June 5

The first phase of the action plan for waste management in Kerala is set to end on June 5, World Environment Day. The state government has organized Haritha Sabhas (green assemblies) across the state to assess the progress of the plan and plan the next steps.

The action plan was prepared in the wake of the fire at the Brahmapuram dumpyard in Kochi in 2022. The fire caused widespread environmental damage and led to public outcry. The action plan aims to make Kerala a zero-waste state by 2030.

The first phase of the action plan focused on improving waste collection and segregation. The government has also set up a number of composting plants and biogas plants to treat organic waste.

The Haritha Sabhas will be held at the local level to involve the public in the waste management process. The government will seek feedback from the public on the progress of the action plan and plan the next steps.

The state government is committed to making Kerala a clean and green state. The action plan is a major step in this direction. The Haritha Sabhas will help to ensure that the plan is successful.

The action plan is being implemented by the Suchitwa Mission, a government agency responsible for waste management in Kerala.

The mission has set up a helpline (1964) for people to report waste-related issues.

The mission has also launched an app, called Swaksha Keralam, to help people learn about waste management.
