Kerala: Launch of Solid Waste Management project!!!
The ambitious technology-driven kerala Solid Waste Management Project (KSWMP), announced on sunday by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, aims to make the state's 93 urban local bodies independent in garbage collection and treatment by march next year.The new development follows a significant fire that started at the waste treatment facility in Brahmapuram, Kochi, in march of this year. Despite the fact that no one was hurt, the fire produced significant amounts of smoke and other pollutants, which lingered in the air for almost two weeks as fire and rescue personnel struggled to contain it. The incident highlighted the need for a long-term waste management strategy in the state's urban areas, which score highly on social and human development indicators. At the opening ceremony in Kochi, cm Vijayan said, "Kerala is bracing for stronger garbage management by turning the challenge into an opportunity." 90% of the population of the state is projected to live in cities and towns by 2035.The government is working hard to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the growing urbanisation. We are implementing environmentally friendly development projects, low-pollution transportation models, and water body conservation as part of this motto, as well as setting new standards for waste management, he continued.
