IMC is
carrying out solid waste management project under JNNURM and civic body
had to construct two transfer stations. It had one transfer station at
Kabitkhedi but it failed to come up with another transfer station. Now
when funding from JNNURM for transfer station was allowed to lapse,
civic body requested for land to district administration. A2Z Company
which is looking after the collection, transportation and disposal of
municipal solid waste was also demanding for another transfer station
for better management of municipal waste.

Kishor Solanki,
project in-charge said that second transfer station is coming at Rau,
tender for it will be called in next few days. He said that construction
of transfer was delayed to unavailability of land for it.

Earlier civic body was supposed to come with transfer station near
Choithram Mandi, but the move was opposed by the president of the mandi
and the local residents. Following which plan was shelved. Move to start
transfer station at Rau was also opposed by local MLA Jitu Jirati
saying that starting transfer station for municipal waste at Rau will
affect the land value and it will benefit certain builders. However,
civic body is finally go to have its another transfer station.
