Meeting on solid waste mgmt project today

Taking cognisance on the deteriorating level of sanitation arrangements in the town due to the poor work performance of the Doon Valley Waste Management (DVWM), Mukhya Nagar Adhikari, Ashok Kumar has planned to discuss the seven most significant issues related to the Solid Waste Management project in a meeting scheduled to be held on December 4 with the Principal Secretary, Urban Development, MH Khan.

As per the seven point list proposed by Kumar, necessary amendments should be done in the agreement made between the company and MCD. He said that, company should bear at least 20 percent expense charges on implementation and conducting the solid waste management project. He mentioned that the deadline for the completion of the construction work of the transfer station should be extended.

Currently, MCD is solely bearing the expenses vehicles and other equipments of the company. He stated that making a slight change in this rule, company officials should also be asked to equally cooperate in this.

However, he added that company should try to manage the maintenance charges of the out of order vehicles without depending on the MCD. He also mentioned that MCD should be given equal share of the user charges earned by the company officials from different wards of the city.

He also said that certain amendments should be done in agreement related to the penalty being imposed on the company officials on their poor work performance.

He also stated that the responsibility of the pending trenching ground construction issues should be handed over to the DVWM. However, this seven point list memorandum was earlier also submitted to the principal secretary by MNA on November 18 and the same issues would be discussed in December 4 meeting.
