30 Crores Spent to Preserve the Waste of Towns in Packets

The corporations in Kerala are deciding to keep the waste compressed in packets. The meeting of ministers have allowed Rs 30 crores of KSUDP to preserve the waste in packets until waste refining plants are constructed. The waste that has got accumulated in five corporations is going to be packed using a technique called ‘bailing’.

The machineries needed for it will be bought soon. The chief minister Mr.Umman Chandi says that the urgent decision of conducting bailing has been taken to prevent diseases that may occur due to these accumulated waste . The KSUDP funds can be used only in corporations. That’s why bailing is now implemented only in five corporations.

The meeting also decided to provide enlarged tender to complete drinking water schemes in Kasargod municipality, Muliyar, Chengala, Muglal- Puthoor and Chemmanad panchayats. The construction of Babikara regulator, which is an important part of drinking water scheme, has also been allowed. The meeting has also decided to enlarge the tenders of PMGSY tenders.

Look Ahead for a Clean Kerala

 Waste problems have become severe in many parts of Kerala due to the lack of cleansing the surrounding before the rainy season. There are no scientific methods to refine waste in local institutions. Hence they are trying to keep the society silent with their temporary measures. Dumping waste in public places has been prohibited. It was done with an aim, for the authorities to come forward and to take this problem seriously and thereby find a permanent solution for it. But those who wish to obey the rules of judiciary and government are in a crisis due to the lack of concern shown by authorities. Just like in towns, there are people in villages who are also facing the problem of where and how to dump and refine the waste . A solution to this problem depends upon the interest of authorities and the support of people. Things will become very easy if we can assure the support of people. The decision of government to provide subsidies to residence associations to make such waste refining systems can be considered as good step. Half of the cost or a maximum of Rs.1 lakh is provided as subsidy.

Subsidies will be also available to colonies, Government quarters, offices, hostels, hotels, marriage auditoriums etc. The clean Kerala mission will provide subsidies to the schemes prepared by local self governed institutions. The government has come to a conclusion that local institutions are not operating well in implementing the schemes of refining wastes in its place of origin. The complaints that come forward at different places regarding this problem proves that it is correct. It is at this situation that the clean Kerala mission was entrusted to supervise the activities of local institutions. In the district level, responsibility of this is in the hands of coordinator, of clean Kerala mission. The new scheme has to be implemented in an efficient manner. Everywhere houses and other buildings are increasing rapidly in Kerala. Flats are being constructed even in villages. In many places these flats are constructed near rivers and other water bodies. Waste refining will become a great problem for those who live in its surrounding areas.

It will be a very difficult task for these local institutions to implement an waste refining system that would fulfil all the needs of houses and flats. So the activities that in cooperates the support of people are becoming relevant. It won’t be a difficult task for schools to organize a waste refining program. As a result of this such systems can be organized by understanding the need and circumstances of the people of that area. It will become very easy to manage such systems if they are under the supervision of some organizations. Residence organizations and other such organizations must come forward, not only to keep the houses clean but also to keep the surroundings clean. Most of the people in Kerala are not bothered about cleanliness of public places. The present condition can be changed a lot if this bad habit can be changed and if the people are ready to make the best use of the waste refining systems that already exist. An inspiration for both of this can be given to people by such organizations. Any of such systems can succeed only if each person gets ready to put forward his own contribution to waste refining.
