Kerala Court Orders Additional Biomining at Brahmapuram Dumpsite Amid Waste Management Study
The Kochi Corporation must biomine an additional 1.26 lakh tonnes of scientifically capped legacy waste at the Brahmapuram dumpsite, following a Kerala High Court directive. This adds to the existing plan to biomine 1.96 lakh tonnes, increasing costs beyond the initially agreed 37 crore. A study highlights that about 6.5 lakh tonnes of legacy waste have been cleared by 2025, but stresses the need for ongoing environmental monitoring and accountability to ensure long-term recovery after the 2023 fire exposed waste management failures.
