CHANDIGARH: After getting numerous complaints from city residents, a team of councillors led by the mayor along with officials of MC and UT’s environment wing conducted a surprise raid on the Garbage Processing Plant, Dadumajra on Friday. Councillors claimed that plant authorities were still burning the garbage, thus spreading stench.

Talking to TOI, councillor Chandermukhi Sharma said though officials of the plant are claiming that they are burning Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), but during the raid it came out that it was almost garbage, which was not processed. The team then apprised the UT officials in this regard.

It may be recalled that mayor Kamlesh along with councillors had conducted checking of the plant around a week back and had claimed that authorities were befooling public, MC and UT by not processing the garbage and producing the fuel out of it.

Later, the mayor convened a meeting of the councillors, following which a delegation met UT finance secretary Sanjay Kumar. After hearing the plea of the elected members, Kumar constituted a team of the technical experts and officials of the environment wing to look into the matter and ordered them to submit the report within a week.
