Fire and Rescue Services personnel engaged in fire extinguishing at Brahmapuram waste treatment plant in Kochi | T P Sooraj
KOCHI: The Kochi corporation has decided to call a council meeting on Monday to discuss the issues and preparations taken at the Brahmapuram waste treatment plant where a fire broke out on March 2, even as protests by opposition councillors over the absence of Kochi mayor M Anilkumar cast a cloud on it happening. Sources said the mayor has not been coming to office for several days and that protests against his absence are likely on Monday.
Opposition leader Antony Kureethara said no probe was initiated after the fire. “We demand that the mayor resign and the contract with Zonta Infratech for bio-mining be terminated with immediate effect,” he said.
