Civic representatives have complained about alleged attempts to derail collection and management of plastic waste in the city.
Several councillors raised the issue at a meeting of the Kochi Corporation Council on Thursday. The councillors complained that plastic refuse from neighbouring local bodies were being brought in and dumped in many parts of the city.
Responding to the debate in the council hall, Mayor M. Anilkumar said some interest groups were working to sabotage collection and management of plastic waste. The civic body will take up the issue with the city police, he told the council.
