The lapses in the management of solid-waste emerged after the Department of Local Self Government carried out an assessment in local bodies.
Four municipalities in Ernakulam that include Thrikkakara, Perumbavoor, Piravom and North Paravur were found lagging behind in solid waste management and sanitation despite earning the government’s ‘clean’ status last year. The lapses in the management of solid-waste emerged after the Department of Local Self Government carried out a detailed assessment on the present situation in local bodies across the State in April. Thrikkakara, Perumbavoor, Piravom and North Paravur had won the ‘clean’ certificate issued by the government in October last. However, these civic bodies could not maintain the track record and slipped in solid-waste management and sanitation, especially after December, according to the assessment.More Related News
