The opposition councillors have alleged that the Municipal Corporation is suffering huge losses at solid waste management plant in Sector 25 as the entire facility is in a state of closure.
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.
