Ludhiana, October 2

The first static compactor of the state was inaugurated by Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria and MC Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori here today.

This is a pilot project which has been launched in Ludhiana. The MC has plans to install more static compactors at 10 locations in the city.

Three static compactors have been installed near the garbage dump of Dugri Bridge, where people used to complain about heaps of garbage lying all over the area.

MC officials claimed that these static compactors would solve all such issues because it would hide the garbage in it and also help in curbing smell and segregating garbage from water. The private garbage collection company A To Z Waste Management Limited has installed these compactors.
