Plant Itself Becomes Waste

A biogas plant costing around 8lakhs that had been installed 7 months back at Ramanattukara is no more in a working condition .Due to this the waste at this area heaped up. It is said that the plant is not working as there has been some mistake in the arranging underlying facilities required .The plant was made to work only during the inaugural days and after that it was left isolated. Equipments including the pulverizer is lying abandoned in the nearby market building. The plant is built such that the pulverizer  is used only when it is required to breakdown the waste and an iron cage was planned to be built near the bio gas plant to keep the pulverizor but no measures were taken regarding this and the pulverizer was left in the market building.

The biogas plant has the capacity to dispose 250 kg of waste daily and if this was working it could be a solution to the waste management crisis that prevailed in that area.
