Construction Waste Management Plant Soon in Ludhiana
A plant for the management of construction and demolition (C&D) waste will be set up at Dhandari Kalan soon under the Smart City mission. Ludhiana Smart City Limited officials are waiting for approval from the government as bids for the project have already been received. In the absence of any such plant, the construction and demolition waste is being dumped on roadsides and vacant plots in the city, causing inconvenience to the public. Heaps of such construction waste can be seen in a few green belt areas of the city. The waste generated during demolition drives, conducted by the civic body, is also dumped along the Buddha Nullah and at other locations. The MC had been planning to set up a plant for the management of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in the city for a long time. The project was later shifted under the Smart City mission. Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu had also visited Jodhpur to study the functioning of the C&D waste management plant last year. After getting the approval from the higher authorities, the work order would be issued to the successful bidder to start construction of the plant at the earliest. The estimated cost of the plant would be around Rs 12 crore, as per information.
