Waste treatment factory to resume operations

The district-level facilitation and monitoring committee on Thursday permitted the Ambayathode-based slaughterhouse waste treatment factory to resume operations from October 31 under stringent regulations and monitoring.

The permission was granted by the committee chaired by District Collector Snehil Kumar Singh after reviewing the field-level inspection reports submitted by the Kerala State Pollution Control Board and the Suchitwa Mission. The total quantity of waste treated at the plant will be brought down from 25 tonnes to 20 tonnes. Also, the operation of the plant will not be allowed after 6 p.m.
