KOCHI: In order to find a permanent solution to the waste menace of Eloor municipality, the district administration will soon take steps to acquire land for the construction of a new waste treatment plant. Announcing the decision at a meeting convened here on Tuesday, District Collector P I Sheik Pareeth said that the biggest hurdle in front of the authorities for setting up the new plant would be finding an appropriate place. “Till the construction of the new plant, waste materials will be treated at the existing plant which is not fully functional,” the Collector said adding that, now the waste materials are dumped here only once in a week. He said that regular checking will be conducted to ensure that the dumped waste materials are properly treated. “The amount of waste materials disposed is comparatively low in Eloor municipality. But the unscientific disposal of garbage is the reason for the existing situation. This should be evaded and a proper place for setting up a new plant will be identified soon after conducting a detailed technical study,” Sheik Pareeth added.
