Pune: Even though no concrete solution has been found by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) as far as the garbage depot at the Phursungi and Uruli Devachi is concerned, the civic administration is in the process of completing the work of two wet garbage processing units in Hadapsar.
These two separate projects would process only the wet garbage, which comes out in bulk from the eateries and restaurants in the city. Both the projects are likely to be launched in the middle of May.
“As a part of our efforts in constructing decentralised garbage processing units, at different locations, we will soon finish the work at two separate garbage processing units in Hadapsar. While one is located near the Hadapsar garbage ramp, the other would be at the Hadapsar industrial estate” Deputy Commissioner of the Pune Municipal Corporation Suresh Jagtap said.
These two units would only process wet garbage and organic waste, which is mainly generated by the eateries in the city,” he added.
On Saturday, civic chief Mahesh Zagade visited these garbage processing units and also paid a visit to inspect the pavements in various parts of the city, such as Sinhagad Road. and so on
