Temporary arrangement till hospital plant turns functional
The State Pollution Control Board has suggested utilising the sewage treatment plant at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium at Kaloor to treat the sewage generated at the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Ernakulam. The recommendation has been made as a temporary arrangement till the sewage treatment plant at the hospital turns functional. The hospital had come under the radar of the National Green Tribunal for not having a proper plant to treat the sewage. The board has asked the authorities to complete the augmentation work by August 31. Senior board officials pointed out that the Greater Cochin Development Authority had agreed to treat the sewage generated from the medical college at the plant installed in the stadium. It has a capacity to treat 750 kilo litres of sewage daily. The secretary of the authority told a recent meeting convened by the board that an agreement could be executed with the hospital authorities.
