Nagercoil: The district administration would take necessary steps to provide license to those who wanted to sell broilers and the waste would be taken to safer places as part of the zero waste management to ensure the environment was free from pollution, said the Collector, Rajendra Ratnoo.
Presiding over an awareness camp on zero waste management at Nattalam panchayat on Tuesday, he said that stringent action would be taken against those who dumped broiler waste in water bodies.
The district administration had succeeded in ridding the district of the non-degradable plastic wastes by conducting various awareness programmes.
Now it had been decided to implement zero waste management throughout the district to ensure hygiene and cleanliness.
The transport charges for clearing the broiler wastes should be met by the respective stall owners, the Collector said.
Cooperation sought
Hence he sought public cooperation for the successful implementation of zero waste management in the district.
