275 crore liquid waste treatment took three and a half years; ₹474 crore cost: Tushar Girinath
‘2,500 tonnes of mixed waste landfilled every day’
- Processing unit on 100 acres near Terrafarm in Doddaballapur
- Another unit on 100 acres of land given to Nice Road in Gollarahalli
Bengaluru: About one thousand tonnes of waste is being processed within the BBMP limits, and about 2,500 tonnes of mixed waste is being landfilled, said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.
The problem that arose in the Mittaganahalli-Kannur landfill area has been resolved, he informed reporters on Monday.
The problem was due to lack of communication between the locals of Mittaganahalli and Kannur and the contractors and officials. Work is being undertaken for the development of villages at a cost of ₹500 crore. He said that the work will start immediately after issuing the work order.
Garbage is being disposed of at night at Mittaganahalli landfill, and steps will be taken to dispose of it during the day as well. He said that minor problems have been resolved.
About 275 crore liters of liquid waste (leachate) is collected at Mittaganahalli landfill, and it will cost ₹474 crore to process it. A tender will be called for it soon. There are currently two 50 KLD liquid waste treatment plants in Mittaganahalli. If they are processed, it will take more than ten years. He explained that two MLD treatment plants will be set up and processed in three and a half years.
A tender was called for solid waste management as a new project. Few people participated in that tender. A tender is being called again after removing some elements. A new 100-acre area for solid waste disposal has been finalized near Terrafarm in Doddaballapur. The government has 50 acres of land and about 65 acres are being purchased from private parties. Also, 100 acres of land given to Nice Road near Gollarahalli is being acquired. If the units start at both these places, integrated solid waste disposal and processing will begin, said Tushar.
