The work of separating degradable and non-degradable waste has become difficult at the solid waste management plants since they are not being separated in houses themselves, he said during the inspection of Indavara waste management unit, recently.
Electricity connection will be given to the plant at a cost of Rs 2.5 lakh. A wall has been constructed to see that the water sprayed on the waste and the rainwater fell on the waste does not seep out. Different development projects including road and the room for the security personnel are on progress at a cost of Rs 18 lakh, he said. City Municipal Council President Thammaiah and Commissioner Krishnamurth were present.
