Municipal Corporation of Gwalior has not decided any agency for the treatment of garbage, that has been dumped at landfill site. Two months ago, two agencies had given the presentation in front of officers but it didn’t work out.
Now this matter has reached to Bhopal to decide about the treatment of garbage and which company will be given the responsibility. In Gwalior, the landfill site is situated at Shivpuri link road where 20,000 tonnes garbage has to be managed and for this agency should be contacted to take the responsibility. Agency will do the agreement to manage the garbage at the landfill site of Dabra, Bhitarwar along with Gwalior itself.
With the presence of 20,000 tonnes of garbage, the area is getting polluted and at the same time, it is polluting the underground water. Municipal Corporation of Gwalior is trying hard for last four years to start the procedure. Also in Gwalior city where there is not approved for dumping the garbage people used to dumped it. All this led to big pollution in air and water.
Municipal Corporation was informed time to time because new agency has to go for new work of landfill site management. In the city around 250 tonnes of garbage is coming out daily and during festivals it increases up to 400 tonnes. For the transportation of garbage vehicles were purchased to dump the garbage at landfill site.
Municipal Corporation of Gwalior will manage garbage soon of big hotels of city and it will be use by composed plant.
When landfill site become congested for the garbage due to continuous dumping of filth then it was stopped and then nearby areas was used to dump the garbage. In city also where there is empty space or pit the garbage was dumped.
