Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
No compromise will be made in keeping the city clean and attractive, mayor Sameer Rajurkar warned on Thursday, issuing a stern directive to officials and staff of the solid waste management (SWM) section. He said any negligence in this work would not be tolerated, and if anyone deliberately creates obstacles, legal action will be taken.
The mayor visited the garbage transfer station at Ramanagar, where he reviewed the ongoing works. He instructed officials to complete the work on a war footing and warned that action would be taken if deadlines are not met.
He said that major changes in the city’s SWM system will be implemented soon. Waste collection and transportation will be carried out using modern technology and advanced vehicles. Around 100 metric tonnes (MT) of waste will be collected at the Ramanagar transfer station. Officials briefed him on how collection vehicles would enter the facility and how waste would be transferred into modern capsule vehicles.
A total of six such transfer stations are being developed across the city, of which the station at N-12 is nearly complete. These six facilities will have a combined capacity to transport around 600 MT of waste to processing centres.
Deputy mayor Rajendra Janjal, corporator Chandrakant Hiwrale, corporator Shilpa Rani Wadkar, Pravin Burande, Sagar Wadkar, deputy commissioner Nandkishor Bhombe, executive engineer Vijay Gore, executive engineer Amol Kulkarni and others were present on the occasion.
