Senior Deputy Mayor Jasbir Bunty, Deputy Mayor Taruna Mehta and AAP Councillor Premlata conducted a surprise inspection of the plant. They claimed that the primary shredder machine is lying defunct for a year. All other machines are also not working properly. Due to this, the processing of the garbage at the plant is not being carried out properly, they added.

In a joint statement issued after the visit, they said the MC is paying Rs 33 lakh to the company, but the plant is not solving the problem of garbage.
