Waste covered at Vadavathoor

Staff Reporter

Waste heaped at the dumping yard in Vadavathoor was covered using tarpaulin sheets on Wednesday to prevent leachate from seeping through the waste.

Deadline met

A meeting recently convened by the District Collector had set June 15 as the deadline to cover the waste. Kottayam municipal councillors and Vijayapuram panchayat members had attended the meeting.

From Kozhikode

According to municipal authorities, 40-metre-wide and 70-metre-long tarpaulin sheets, weighing around 250 kg, were procured from Kozhikode to cover almost two tonnes of waste spread over 1 lakh sq. ft in the yard.
