‘Confusion over allotment of land needs to be cleared’
The Indian Medical Association Goes Eco-Friendly (IMAGE) is ready to make its proposed biomedical treatment facility at Brahmapuram operational within six months, if the confusion over the allotment of land is cleared. “We have shortlisted the agency for carrying out the environmental impact assessment and supply of equipment. But a government decision should come on the concessional agreement handing over nearly three acres under the Kochi Corporation in Brahmapuram on lease to the Indian Medical Association, Kerala,” said IMAGE Secretary Dr. Sharafudheen K.P. If it turns a reality, the proposed common biomedical treatment facility will be the second such facility under the IMAGE after its maiden venture in Palakkad. “It will have the capacity to treat 20 tonnes of biomedical waste daily and can be upgraded to nearly 30 tonnes,” said Dr. Sharafudheen.
