Chandigarh, June 20

Two agencies have been finalised in the technical evaluation for the bioremediation of 7.67 lakh metric tonne of legacy waste lying at the dumping ground in Dadu Majra. Later this week, financial bids will be opened, after which one of these firms will be awarded the work this month only.

The firm will have 1,048 days to clear the second and remaining part of the waste.

The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is partially funding the Rs 77-crore project. At present, five lakh metric tonne of waste is being biomined and the work is expected to be completed by the next year. About 78 per cent of the waste has been removed so far.

Besides, three firms participated in the tendering process for the upgrade of the waste processing plant. The bids will now be sent for a technical evaluation.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
