Speaking at the event, the minister urged the residents in the city to develop waste management as a culture. “The joint initiatives by Kochi Corporation and CSML have helped in transforming the city.

The government is implementing several projects to resolve the issue. To implement these projects effectively, people should change their attitude,” he said.
