State Pollution Control Board to issue show-cause notice to civic body The State Pollution Control Board (PCB) will issue show-cause notice to the Kochi Corporation asking it to explain the steps taken to address the violations detected at the Brahmapuarm waste dumping yard.
The notice will be served based on the board’s findings gathered during the inspection held at the yard on March 3. The Corporation will be told to elaborate on the continuing incidents of fire outbreaks at the site, where heaps of waste have been lying idle for long. The local body had failed to contain the repeated fires that resulted in air pollution, besides triggering the possibility of causing harm to the public, said senior board officials. A major fire occurred at the yard on March 5.
