This company has received tenders worth Rs 400 crore to build waste treatment plants within the limits of various local self-government bodies.
The minister said waste management measures will be implemented across Kochi on a war footing and that steps will be adopted to prevent another Brahmapuram disaster from happening ever again.
The decision to conduct the survey was taken at a higher-level meeting convened by Health Minister Veena George in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.
Fire & Rescue units from throughout Kerala are working round the clock to put out the toxic fumes.
The district collector said no serious health issues due to the smoke have been reported yet. She advised those with lung diseases, children below 12 and pregnant women to be cautious.
At least 146 firefighters, the Navy and the Air Force helped douse the fire at the waste dump yard. Per minute, 60,000 litres were pumped.
The irritating smoke generated from the plant has forced the state government to urge the people of its neighbourhood to stay indoors on Sunday as a precaution against the unhealthy smog.
Five units of the Fire and Rescue Services were deployed at the site to douse the fire.
Meanwhile, she asked the residents of Brahmapuram to stay home on Sunday and said more oxygen kiosks would be set up in the region.
The Navy started its operations at Brahmapuram on Friday night soon after the district administration sought the force’s help.
