Kochi Corporation to set up cameras to spot illegal waste dumping
The Hindu
The plan is to install at least 140 cameras initially
The Kochi Corporation will soon decide on locations where surveillance cameras will be installed to spot illegal dumping of waste.
The project will be implemented on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOP) mode, where the contracting company will install cameras at its own expense. It will be permitted to display advertisements on the posts on which cameras will be mounted. The civic body hopes to implement the project without spending money from its pocket, said T.K. Ashraf, chairman, health standing committee, Kochi Corporation.
The plan is to set up at least 140 cameras initially. The proposal will be finalised at a meeting of the health standing committee and later at the corporation council meeting.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
