New waste plant in a year, says Minister
A new solid waste treatment plant would be commissioned at Brahmapuram before December next, according to Manjalamkuzhi Ali, Minister for Urban Affairs.
Talking to mediapersons after visiting the existing plant, Mr. Ali said that KITCO had been asked to complete the tender formalities for the new plant before March.
Though the paper works for setting up the new plant were completed earlier, it had to be dropped as the technology suggested for the plant was not accepted, Mr. Ali said.
The plastic refuse processed at the plant would be used for laying roads across the State.
Plastic shredding units would be opened in all local bodies.
Mayor Tony Chammany; Deputy Mayor B. Bhadra; Health Standing Committee Chairman T.K. Ashraf; and Clean Kerala Company manager Kabeer B. Haroon; accompanied the Minister.
