Project to tap power from plastic waste
Minister for Urban Affairs Manjalamkuzhi Ali has said
that a plant to produce electricity from plastic waste will be
established in Kollam. A total of six such plants will be established in
different parts of the State.
Mr. Ali was addressing
a gathering after inaugurating a modern fish market inside the
Polayathodu public market complex here on Friday.
He said that such plants would to some extent be a solution for garbage treatment and disposal.
There
was no fund paucity for development projects in the State. Various
development projects worth Rs.2,500 were being carried out in the city
Corporation and municipal areas of the State, the Minister said.
He called for a united approach above political consideration for the time-bound completion of these projects.
The
Minister said that if the civic authorities of Kollam were prepared to
allocate 50 cents of land, a modern market complex with Central
government fund support can be constructed.
