No efforts have been taken by the civic body

However, societies will have to write to the BMC seeking permission for an extension.". Instead of pointing fingers at officials, they should also come up with solutions for waste management," said Godfrey Pimenta from the Watchdog Foundation.Opposition leader Ravi Raja from Congress said, "The circular issued by BMC says that it will neither collect the garbage nor provide the machinery or manpower to dispose the waste.

They slammed the civic administration saying it was being implemented without the BMC taking them into confidence and making elaborate arrangements for waste segregation.In the group leaders’ meeting, civic chief Ajoy Mehta said that an extension would be given to housing China Table and Chairs Manufacturers societies. The BMC had set October 2 as the deadline for all housing societies to segregate their garbage (dry and wet waste) and treat it in their premises. Social activists have blamed the BMC corporators for not raising awareness about waste segregation.Mumbai: Bowing under pressure from its corporators, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has extended its deadline of not collecting unsorted garbage from housing societies by three months.

No efforts have been taken by the civic body to ensure scientific disposal of garbage. It is not possible for housing societies to carry out scientific disposal of garbage.

As the proposal got passed

"As the EDMC area generates thousands of metric tonnes of waste daily, its proper disposal has been a challenging task. If things go well, the NHAI will set up a plant near the site and will segregate the solid waste. As the proposal got passed, the Corporation has been empowered to sign a MoU and once it would be inked, the highway authority will be allowed to use the material for the purpose," said Jitender Chaudhary, chairman, standing committee. Ignoring the actual capacity of the city, the EDMC dumps nearly 2,500 metric tonne garbage daily. Since proposal has been made by the NHAI, entire cost for setting up of plant and transportation of the produced material will be borne by the NHAI itself," said a senior EDMC official.

This will be in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directions for use of waste in a productive way. The institute submitted its report to NHAI a couple of months back and said that the municipal solid waste contains about 65 to 70 per cent of soil components which can be used in embankment construction after segregation.
