Proposal to set up new dumping yards in general body
NAGPUR: Finally, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation
has finalized two new places for creating dumping yards. The proposal
will be tabled in the special general body meeting scheduled to be held
on April 12.
It was a long pending demand that the city must
have at least five dumping yards in different locations and for this,
the NMC requires at least 600 acres of land outside the city limits.
The NMC and NIT had jointly formed a committee including officials from NIT, NMC, GSDA, MPCB and Neeri, which inspected as many as 18 sites for feasibility and technical examination.
Of these sites, NIT, which is the planning authority for metro region,
had identified six sites for dump yards in the metro region.
Subsequently, NMC and NIT consulted the proposed sites with Central
Public Health and Environment Engineering Organisation, Ministry of
Environment and Forest, MPCB and CPEB and had finalized two places
Bellari in Kalmeshwar tehsil and Titur in Kuhi tehsil. The civic body
will have to select 260 hectares of land from these two places, stated
the proposal.
If the proposal is cleared, the NMC’s town
planning department and NIT will jointly start the acquisition process
for both the lands. Besides this, five more proposals like renaming of
roads and squares after great leaders will also be tabled before the
House.
