#Toxic air everywhere
The fire at the Brahmapuram waste treatment plant in Kochi has become a major environmental disaster. The fire that broke out on March 2, 2023 continues until today, that is to say March 12.
This has caused immense damage not only to the environment but also to public health. The poisonous air from the burning plastic has spread to Kochi and the surrounding area. 75 km to the south, the town of Alappuzha reported an AQI of 300 instead of an average of 120.
Despite the efforts of local authorities and firefighters, the smoke still remains uncontrollable.
Although the question of who exactly is responsible for this disaster remains unanswered, the local government and state administration failed miserably to control the fire. If they are unable to do so, hand over the task to the Indian Army. The state government's neglect to deal with the situation is intolerable.
