Waste management in Kerala is a model for other States and the functioning of Haritha Karma Sena is exceptional, Minister for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development J. Chinchurani has said.
She was inaugurating the mechanised aerobic unit, incinerator and Material Collection Facility (MCF) in Thangassery division as part of ‘Azhakarnna Kollam Janapankalithathode’ project.
“The government is implementing fast-paced activities for waste disposal. Kureepuzha garbage treatment plant is a good example. Revenue land will be acquired for treatment plants at more places, for expediting waste disposal works. The aim is to extend vegetable cultivation using bio-fertilisers from waste treatment and achieve self-sufficiency in vegetable production,” said the Minister. Ms. Chinchurani added that stray dog attacks can also be controlled through proper waste management, bringing down the number of strays by 2030.
