“Existing waste management plants are on the verge of closure, with garbage piles forming at the sites. Now, the BJP government is once again adding insult to injury by announcing electricity production from waste. Whether it’s the BJP-led state or the Central Government, they excel at misleading the public through false promises,” Kumari Selja said yesterday.

She added a waste management plant was established at Bakrianwali village in Sirsa in 2006. Over the past 18 years, thousands of tonnes of garbage had accumulated at the site. Though machinery was installed at the plant in 2006 to process waste and produce compost, the plant had turned into a garbage dump, she said, adding a similar waste management plant in Ambala failed to produce compost.
