When will Devrukh Nagar Panchayat start solid waste management project, all the citizens were watching. Actually, various discussions have come to an end with the commencement of solid waste project from January 1. Preparation of compost from wet waste has also started.
Devrukh city is developing rapidly. With increasing urbanization, waste also accumulates in large quantities. This waste is collected through the bell jar of Devrukh NP. The accumulated waste was earlier dumped at Kavaltek. But since there was a water tank nearby and the waste was destroyed by animals and dogs, foul smell spread in the area. To get a permanent place to dump the waste, land was purchased at Kanjiwara at a cost of crores of rupees to set up a project to process the waste. www.konkantoday.com
