എറണാകുളം ബ്രമ്മപുരം വേസ്റ്റ് പ്ലാന്റിലെ തീപിടിത്തം കൊണ്ട് ഉണ്ടായ പുക കൊച്ചി നഗരത്തെ ശ്വാസം മുട്ടിക്കുന്നു. കൊച്ചി നഗര സഭയുടെ കെടുകാര്യസ്ഥത കൊണ്ടാണ് ഈ ദുരന്തം സംഭവിച്ചത്. കൊച്ചി നഗരസഭയുടെ ഇപ്രകാരമുള്ള ദുര്‍ഭരണം നഗര വാസികളെ ദിനംപ്രതി പൊറുതി മുട്ടിക്കുകയാണ്..#brahmapuramwasteplant pic.twitter.com/Z7jeQWMXE6

To give you some update on the #Brahmapuram mishap, this is @callmeshazzam 's insta story.

Even if they can contain the fire in the next couple of days, how the hell are they gonna get rid of these thick poisonous smoke clouds?#Kochi pic.twitter.com/pCUAtjrTVP

Such a shame #kochi corporation. Fire and rescue cannot stop this #fire even after 36hours. The residents are inhaling toxic air.
