Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has proposed allocating Rs 7 crore to relocate waste generated in the city to a dedicated area in order to deal with the growing debris. Vikram Kumar, the municipal commissioner, has presented a proposal to the standing committee for the allocation of funding for waste transportation throughout the city.
‘PMC administration requires funds for collection and transportation of construction and demolition debris waste to designated locations’, read the proposal.
One of the civic officials stated: ‘Construction or redevelopment debris are dumped along with garbage at many places. While PMC can keep vigilance at big construction sites, it is difficult to monitor minor works’.
