The pace of bioremediation work to remove heaps of garbage from the Bhagatanwala garbage dump is going on at snail’s pace due to which, the MC faced embarrassment in an important meeting held in Chandigarh recently.

Following this, MC officials are likely to take action against the company, which is conducting bioremediation of garbage. A meeting was held under the chairmanship of Local Government Minister Dr Inderbir Singh Nijjar at Chandigarh, in which the Commissioner of Municipal Corporations and Executive Officers of the Local Government Department and other officials discussed solid waste management in cities.

During the meeting, 11 municipal corporations and councils of the state were awarded for the disposal of waste, but the Amritsar Municipal Corporation failed to get an appreciation for the disposal of waste.
