Labour Minister Shibu Baby John will inaugurate the ‘garbage treatment at source’ scheme of the Kollam Corporation at a function at Vaddy beach on Monday.

Mayor Prasanna Earnest told mediapersons that, to begin with, 5,000 biogas plants would be installed at the domestic level, each to cost Rs.10,500. The beneficiary share would be Rs.2,625 and the rest, almost 75 per cent, would be covered by the subsidy.
