Seven local bodies in Ernacula, including Kochi Corporation and four municipalities, were unable to meet 31 March 2025, set by the Ministry of local government to achieve the status “without waste”.
Kunnukar and Kunnathunad Panchayats also appear on the list. The main reasons for a free statement to be free of charge without waste, a delay in clearing the waste unloading location and the certification process of institutions within the Green State sorting place was cited. According to the district wing of the state government of Harith Keralam Mission (HKM), eighty -nine civic authorities in the district were announced according to the district wing of the state government (HKM).
HKM officials stated that the efforts to declare local authorities without waste, but it may take some time due to the completion of the scope of work. They added that it could take more than a month.
Mayor M. Anilkucar said there was no point in rushing a statement without achieving 100% compliance. For corporation, the achievement of free status would not be completed only after commissioning the compressed biogas and the completion of bioming work in Brahmapuram, which both followed the schedule, added.
The chairman of the municipality North Paravur Beeda Sasidharan said that the authorities were in the final phase claiming the civic body without waste. “It is necessary to clean several landfills in some departments and we hope to complete the work in a few days,” she added.
The chairman of the village Perumbavoor Biju John said that several landfills in some departments had to be cleaned. “We hope to finish the work within a month,” he added.
The chairman of the municipality of Thrikkara Radhamani Pillai hoped that the statement could be made after removing the piles of plastic waste in several places.
Vice President Kunnukar Gram Panchayat Ma Abdul Jabbar claimed that the statement could only be made after removing illegal waste of waste on the pig farm in North Aduvassery. Despite the fact that the violation has caused before the district administration and coercive authorities, the situation has not changed, he said.
President of the village Kalamassery and President Kunnatonad Gram Panchayat were not available for comments.
