Local Self-Government Minister M.B. Rajesh has stressed the importance of public participation in solid waste management plans and urged local bodies to cultivate a proper waste disposal culture among citizens.
It was primarily the responsibility of local self-government institutions to foster the habit of making proper use of facilities like dustbins after preliminary segregation of waste, the Minister said in his inaugural address at the State-level workshop series for elected representatives of urban local bodies and implementation officers here.
The two-day event, titled ‘Maattam’ (Change), was organised by the Kerala Solid Waste Management Project (KSWMP), as part of a workshop series planned in four zones across the State.
