A delegation of members of the Urban Estate Phase-II Market Association along with Chandan Grewal, Chairman of the Safai Karamchari Union, on Tuesday met Mayor Jagdish Raja and Municipal Commissioner Devinder Singh regarding the issue of proposed garbage dump in their area.
More than 50 shopkeepers that run their business along Lamma Pind Chowk are up in arms against the Municipal Corporation over the alleged apathetic attitude of the authorities towards their demand for a concrete solution to waterlogging in the area.
It has become difficult for the Municipal Corporation to ensure the lifting of waste from various dumps of the city for over the last one week. As per information, the contract given to a private company for the lifting of waste has expired resulting in many problems.
In 2017, a bio-mining project was planned to manage and process the waste at Wariana dump. A detailed report of its importance was prepared too. Cut to 2022, the much-talked about project is yet to take off and the garbage mound at the dump has only grown bigger all this while.
There is hardly any road or chowk in the city that remains safe for commuters during the rains. A majority of the areas and roads get inundated during a downpour.
