Waste disposal solutions being delayed Updated: Updated: Civic bodies find excuse in the proposed energy plant at Brahmapuram Share Article Civic bodies find excuse in the proposed energy plant at Brahmapuram Local bodies in Ernakulam that failed to ensure scientific waste management have found the proposed waste-to-energy (WTE) plant at Brahmapuram as an excuse for not finding solutions to the vexed issue. The Kochi Corporation and Aluva, Angamaly, Kalamassery, Thrikkakara and Thripunithura municipalities were pulled up by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for not initiating steps as per the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. The corporation had come under fire for the poor functioning of its solid waste treatment facility at Brahmapuram. The municipalities too were under the lens for depending on the Brahmapuram facility for dumping their biodegradable waste.
