KOCHI: Breaking the deadlock over the treatment of garbage generated in the city, Kochi corporation authorities have decided to entrust the operations of the solid waste treatment plant at Brahmapuram to a new contractor. It is learnt that the new firm will take over the operations of the plant on March 1 and until then the existing contractor will continue.
Though the corporation council held on Monday unanimously decided to scrap the existing contractor who operates the plant now, the authorities had failed to choose a new contractor.
