Mayor inspects waste management plant in Jagadhri

Mayor Suman Bahamani, along with officials of Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar- Jagadhri, inspected the solid waste management plant situated in Kail village and the garbage dumping point in Gulab Nagar of Jagadhri.

She directed the officials to get the garbage lying outside the solid waste management plant removed. She also directed them to get the dirt lying around the garbage dumping point cleaned. The Mayor, along with MCYJ engineer Rakesh, Chief Sanitary Inspector Harjeet Singh and other officials, went to the areas falling under zone-1 of the MCYJ to check the door-to-door garbage collection, transportation and segregation system.

Bahamani first checked the cleanliness system in Gulab Nagar colony. Later, she reached the dumping point located in Gulab Nagar. During the inspection, she found garbage lying near the dumping point and asked the officials to get it cleaned.

She told them that the garbage coming to the dumping point should be lifted daily. “Plastic, polythene, stones and pebbles should be separated from the garbage and sent to the garbage disposal plant,” the Mayor said.

Later, she visited the solid waste management plant where she found garbage lying on the roadside outside the plant. She asked the officials of the agency and the MCYJ to get the garbage cleaned as soon as possible and dump it inside the plant.

“I gave strict instructions to the officials not to dump garbage outside the plant. If in the future, garbage is dumped outside the plant, departmental action will be taken against the officials concerned,” the Mayor said.

Bahamani said that they were making efforts to improve the cleanliness of twin cities Yamunanagar and Jagadhri.

She further said that soon, Haryana’s first compressed biogas (CBG) plant would be installed on 10 acres in Mukarabpur village at a cost of Rs 100 crore.

“This plant will dispose of 45,000 MT of solid waste annually in a scientific manner. Along with this, 36,000 metric tonnes of cow dung will also be used properly. The plant will also produce 9,500 MT of organic manure daily and will also reduce methane emissions and air pollution caused by dumping garbage in the open and fire in the landfill area,” said the Mayor. She said that this plant of the MCYJ was expected to be completed by May 2027.
