Biomining: Former Mayor serves legal notice on Corporation
The Hindu
Tony Chammany demands retendering of waste processing bid
The biomining of legacy waste accumulated on the Brahmapuram campus of the Kochi Corporation has ended up in a legal battle with former Mayor Tony Chammany serving a legal notice on the civic body demanding the retendering of the bid for waste processing.
The Kochi Corporation awarded the bid to a Bengaluru-based firm after retendering the bids. The certificates produced by the firm selected for the job were manipulated ones, alleged Mr. Chammany in a legal notice served on the civic body.
Though the bid was floated for ‘dump-site land reclamation through biomining process’, the company which was selected for the job lacked the required experience in the sector. The firm had experience only in capping of waste, which did not require much machinery and experience, he alleged.
