AAA The city on Friday witnessed the launch of a new mass campaign to remove waste dumps from all its wards. This also was the first such initiative from the newly sworn in administration at the Corporation. The campaign titled ‘Anicheram Azhakaarnnoru Ananthapurikkayi’ (Let us come together for a beautiful Thiruvananthapuram) was launched in five locations, with Ministers and MLAs also becoming part of it.
It involves the removal of all existing waste dumps, providing alternative arrangements, including aerobic bins wherever needed, and beautifying the location. Before launching the campaign, health inspectors were asked to prepare reports on waste-dumping centres in each health circle. The public were also asked to report and upload photographs of dumps to the Smart Trivandrum mobile application.

‘Spice Route project to take Kerala Tourism to next level’
Kerala should ramp up its commitment to Responsible Tourism (RT) and declare the State as an RT destination in the light of changing consumer preferences towards zero-carbon destinations and zero food miles besides factoring in environmental costs beyond economic costs, Director, Technical Cooperation and Silk Road, UNWTO, Suman Billa has said.
Addressing a session on Tourism on the second day of the ‘Kerala Looks Ahead’ global conference and consultation on Tuesday, Mr. Billa, a Kerala cadre IAS officer, said India had a robust domestic market, and Kerala, famous for its niche products like wellness, houseboats, and home stays, would emerge strongly. “Kerala also needs to add Instagrammable activities to attract the younger clientele and increase footfalls.”
