Modern Waste Refining Plant at Brahmapuram

The disposal and refining of wastes have become a great problem even in small towns of the state. The activities of the Vilappilshala waste refining centre at Vilappilshala panchayat under Thiruvananthapuram Town Corporation, is in great crisis. Since all the waste of the town is being dumped in this centre the people living in that area have come forward with their complaints. Yet no action is being taken from the side of Town Corporation or the changing governments so as to dispose the waste in a scientific manner and to avoid environmental pollution. Still many problems are going on associated with it. It is at this situation that the government has taken necessary steps to start a very modern impurity refining plant at waste disposal centre at Brahmapuram, which is under Cochi Town Corporation. This decision is of great importance. Through pollution free activities it should become a model to the state itself.

The government is deciding to start such plants even at Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode and Thrissur. It’s known that such waste refining plants are functioning in a good manner not only in foreign countries, but also in great cities of India like Bangalore. But such plants in the state are creating great problems to the people living near them, because of their improper functioning. Many have come forward with protest against it. The bio waste disposal system at the Brahmapuram, Cochi Town Corporation’s waste disposal centre, was in a very bad condition for a long time. But now the activities have improved a lot. The accumulation of unsold bio fertilizers produced from the waste and plastic waste are the main problems faced now. The recycling of plastic wastes is not performed in a proper manner. The new waste disposal plant should find a solution to such problems also. At present there are no enough vehicles to carry waste from the towns to Brahmapuram plant. Carrying wastes in open trucks are creating great problems for people living on road sides. The collection and removal of wastes should also be done in a scientific manner. Thereby Cochi can become a model to other towns.

Not only the Vilappilshala at Thiruvanathapuram but the waste disposals at other cities like Kollam, Kottayam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Kannur etc are also facing serious problems. The leaders of all political parties must stand together to find a solution to this problem. Every one should work with unity for its solution. The polluted water from the waste at Vilappilshala is polluting other water bodies of the premises like wells, rivers, canals etc. Now steps have started to bring the necessary machineries to refine this polluted water, as a result of the instruction from the high court. But people were preventing the machinery transplantation by creating fire on the road. A solution to such conflicts should be found by political leaders. There is no problem that could be solved if leaders put forward their service for the benefit of people and for the development of that place. The proper functioning of the existing plants and the new plants must be strictly looked after. Proper action must be taken against any officials or any one else who don’t obey them strictly.
