Only two tonnes of total 20.82 tonnes of garbage treated
Only two tonnes of the total 20.82 tonnes of waste generated daily in Thripunithura Municipality is treated in accordance with rules, say official estimates.
The widening gap has brought to light the lack of centralised and decentralised waste management systems under the municipality despite several directives from the agencies concerned. The waste management capacity gap is around 18.74 tonnes per day. The State Pollution Control Board (PCB) had assessed an environment compensation of ₹3.78 crore for the civic body for non-compliance with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
