The entire garbage of the city has once again returned to the Dadu Majra dumping ground as one of the major machines of the JP garbage plant has broken down.
While officials of the garbage plant said the machine would be repaired by Monday, the fault has increased the pain of residents of Dadu Majra due to stench. Sources said the trommel machine broke down two days ago due to wet garbage. The machine takes all garbage from the dumpers and sends it to the plant, but for the past two days, no garbage is being taken inside the plant due to the fault. An officer of the plant said engineers were working on the machine and it was likely to start functioning from Monday.
The plant faced the wrath of residents for not processing the entire garbage. Recently, the Governor and the Mayor visited the plant and directed to improve its functioning.
