Thiruvananthapuram: The general administration department of the Kerala Secretariat has issued a circular urging employees not to dispose of waste from their homes in the bins placed at the complex.
The circular states that strict action will be taken if employees continue to dump home waste in the Secretariat complex.
The housekeeping department warned that anyone found dumping home waste in the Secretariat bins will be dealt with seriously from now on.
Initially, when large quantities of waste were found in the Secretariat's bins, it was dismissed as waste generated from the Secretariat, but when the volume of waste continued to pile up, it was found that the employees were dumping home waste.
Meanwhile. this dumping of waste comes at a time when the State Minister for Local Self Government M.B. Rajesh has come out with an order asking all houses to ensure that they deposit their home waste to domestic waste collectors that are commissioned by the local body, especially in the Corporation areas of the state, at a specified fee.
In the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation areas, a monthly fee of Rs 100 is charged for collecting plastic waste once a week.
