Kadungalloor panchayat wants project to be shifted to new location
The Kadungalloor panchayat has opposed the move by the district administration to set up a common facility for proper disposal of construction and demolition waste generated in the district.
The proposed facility is being envisaged on a 2-acre land in ward 18 of the panchayat. It will be the first of its kind if the project turns a reality, according to the district administration. However, panchayat representatives have made it clear that they would take the legal recourse once the authorities decide to go ahead with the implementation process without addressing their concerns.
“The proposed site is close to a residential area. Moreover, the original plan has included a facility for processing chicken and other meat waste. The site is also near to paddy fields and any such project will have a detrimental impact on people and the ecology here,” said Suresh Muttathil, president of the Kadungalloor panchayat.
