Kasaragod, June 26: An all-party meeting here on Saturday to discuss disposal of garbage in the municipal limits decided to explore the possibility of setting up a waste-treatment plant in the Kelugudde locality where people have come out against the dumping of waste from all over the town.
The meeting, presided over by municipal chairman T.E. Abdulla, said the plant could be set up after getting permission from the Kerala State Pollution Control Board.
He said that for the time being, every locality would dig pits to dump waste. District Collector K.N. Sathish and district panchayat president P.P. Shyamala Devi spoke.
Representatives of the Kelugudde action committee, which resisted the move to dump waste, did not participate, insisting that they would not cooperate with the meeting attended by political leaders.
Mr. Abdulla said the municipality decided to convene a similar meeting on June 29, with the participation of the action committee's representatives, to find a lasting solution.
