‘We are trying to speed up the process’
With an aim to “speed-up” the process of clearing the Ghazipur landfill site, the East Delhi Municipal Corporation on Monday passed a proposal to implement the bio-mining of “50 lakh tonnes” of legacy waste.
EDMC Commissioner Vikas Anand said that close to “8 lakh tonnes” of legacy waste had been “processed in the last two years” and that the civic body was looking to “increase the capacity of waste processed” by roping in a concessionaire.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
