KOCHI: The Kochi Corporation has succeeded in converting waste into wealth through the waste management programmes introduced in the city, said S. Sarma, Minister for Fisheries.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Refuse Derived Fuel plant at a function held at the Kochi Corporation council hall on Thursday. There was a time when the city was full of garbage heaps.
