To inspect the progress of the project, Mayor Pardeep Chhabra today visited the site. He was accompanied by Deputy Mayor Harphool Chander Kalyan, area councillor Kamlesh, Joint Commissioner-II H S Kandhola and medical officer Dr G C Bansal. The Mayor also visited the dumping ground where the work for closing, capping and development of sanitary land fill for the scientific disposal of garbage under the Central Pollution Control Board sponsored project is in progress.

The Deputy Mayor after visiting the site told Newsline that during their visit the officials of Jai Parkash Associates Limited told them that the plant will start functioning in three months time.

“We have clearly told the company officials that the work has already been delayed and the project should be completed in two-month time instead of three months. At present, 50 per cent work is pending, as some machines are yet to be brought to the site,” said Kalyan.

During their meeting, the issue of garbage processing plant was also taken up. Kalyan said that the Adviser told them to ensure the completion of project at the earliest.
