Staying away from its previous plan of using ‘waste-to-energy’ technology for upgrading the beleaguered solid waste processing plant in the city, the Municipal Corporation will now go for any technology suitable for the plant. The only condition will now be that the entire 500 metric tonne waste generated in the city daily should be processed with arrangement of disposing of its by-product.

The waste-to-energy technology, which was aimed at producing power by procession dry garbage, was approved in the last MC House meeting. However, officers feel, “Why should we restrict to one technology. We will keep it open-ended. Any technology, which is suitable for the plant, will be adopted.”

The UT Administration today okayed the new plan.

The IIT, Ropar, today gave a presentation on its detailed project report and the request for proposal to UT Adviser Dharam Pal and MC Commissioner Anindita Mitra.

However, officials said the presentation was not satisfactory and the IIT team had been asked to submit a fresh report next week with suggested changes.

After finalising it, a tender will be floated to set up the new technology at the plant. More land at some other site, if required, will be given for upgrading the plant.
