The State will pass legislation next month in a bid to ensure stricter implementation of waste management measures, Minister for Local Self-Government M.B. Rajesh has said.
Speaking after inaugurating ‘Maattam’, a two-day workshop for civic bodies in Kozhikode, Kannur, Wayanad, and Kasaragod districts, at Vythiri on Monday, Mr. Rajesh said as the latest technologies were available to collect and dispose of solid waste, civic bodies should make best use of them through exemplary leadership interventions. The zonal workshop was organised by the Kerala Solid Waste Management Project (KSWMP).
Noting that the government was making concerted efforts for a garbage-free Kerala, Mr. Rajesh called for ways to overcome the slow pace in execution that could stop the ‘Malinya Muktham Nava Keralam’ drive from achieving its aim by March next year.
