- Prithviraj BP, the additional municipal commissioner, has announced a new waste management project that will involve charging shop owners a fee for waste collection and implementing scientific waste disposal methods. This initiative comes as the central government has instructed municipal bodies to set up animal waste processing units that comply with environmental safety norms.
- The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had initially planned to set up the waste processing plant in the Uruli Devachi area but faced opposition from residents, leading to a delay in the project. However, a suitable location meeting the central government’s requirements has now been identified, with the site yet to be disclosed.
- In a separate development, the PMC’s dead animal waste processing centre in Mundhwa, which cost ₹3 crore to build, is set to restart operations within a month. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has lifted its stay on the project, allowing the facility to resume processing one tonne of waste.
Stay tuned for more updates on Pune’s waste management initiatives!
