‘Detailed report of fire outbreak to be submitted to NGT’
The State Level Monitoring Committee (SLMC) on solid waste management appointed by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has termed the solid waste management scenario in Kalamassery municipality as “unscientific”.
SLMC chairman A.V. Ramakrishna Pillai, who inspected the dumping yard of the civic body at North Kalamassery on Thursday following the massive fire that erupted along the plastic heaps lying at the site on Tuesday, directed the municipality authorities to step up measures to resolve the widening gap in the solid waste management system without delay.
“I will be submitting a detailed report on the fire incident and the lapses in the management of solid waste in Kalamassery before the tribunal,” said Mr. Pillai.
