District Collector flays Kochi Corporation
“At a time when Kochi Corporation is bound to take action on several issues faced by the public on warfooting, the council is wasting time in the name of trivial matters regarding the smart city."
Kakkanad: Coming out strongly against Kochi Corporation officials, Ernakulam district collector M. G Rajamanickam said the council has failed to attend the needs of common man.
“Kochi is facing numerous issues that need immediate official intervention. I could realize and learn too much while occupying the post of Mayor temporarily during the local body polls. The piles of garbage is the key issue the city is facing. The municipality has failed to renovate the solid waste treatment plant at Brahmapuram. Still nothing has been moved,” he charged in a post on his Facebook page.
“When I served as the mayor, CCTV cameras were installed at the plant and also the lorry operators
were told to transport waste after covering it properly. “Notices were issued to owners of 32 building
complexes for encroaching government land to create parking lots. However, the present council revoked the charges,” he said.
“For sewage treatment plant, Rs 168 crore was allotted under KSUDP. However, the corporation failed to utilize the fund properly. The toilet waste from flats and hotels are let out into the streams. The corporation neither check the menace nor initiate action,” Rajamanickam said.
“At a time when Kochi Corporation is bound to take action on several issues faced by the public on warfooting, the council is wasting time in the name of trivial matters regarding the smart city. Now the topics discussed are the colour of paint for the walls, smart city logo and the names to be engraved on the board. They don’t’ even bother to find time to discuss the problems confronted by the public,” he added.
