Members of the Haritha Karma Sena (HKS) engaged in doorstep collection of non-biodegradable waste in Eloor will receive a ‘kaineetam’ (gift) of ₹5,000 each as part of Vishu.
They will also receive an advance incentive of ₹5,000 each as part of the festival. Nearly 27 members will receive the benefit for their concerted efforts to streamline the collection and disposal of non-biodegradable waste including plastic in the municipality.
The HKS volunteers are functioning under three groups. They have been depositing 10% of their earnings in the consortium of green volunteers. Municipal chairman A.D. Sujil said the kaineetam and advance payment were drawn from the total amount available with the consortium.
