Ghaziabad: TPA right in the middle of Shakti Khand Indirapuram will soon become something from the past.
Officials said that the work of cleaning 1.5 lakh tons of inheritance waste has been going on since October last year and in October this year will be fully cleaned.
The company employed to do the job not only clean the landfill site but also use the bio-remedial method to treat waste mounds that have lied for the past half decade.
An official from Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (GMC) said, “The company we have recruited to clear the inheritance waste from 35,000 square meters at Indirapuram Shakti Khand has done work from October last year and has so far been cleaned a lot.
We hope that the area will be Fully cleaned in October this year.
“In 2018, a petition submitted by the Welfare Association of Trans-Hindon residents who accused the dumping page that was not dismissed in the middle of the city pose a health hazard for the population of Indirapuram, Vaisali and Vaishali.
National Green Tribunal (NGT) has formed a committee consisting of DM, Deputy GDA Chairperson, and representatives of each of the pollution control boards and the Central Polution Control Board.
The committee in his report, submitted in August 2019, has warned that the waste produced leads to groundwater which leads to contamination.
NGT in 2020 has ordered that the TPA site will be completely removed.
But even though GMC claims that the dumping place will be cleaned in October, Kuldeep Saxena from Trans-Hindon Rwa has expressed doubts that it will be cleaned in the near future.
“It would be better if the landfill site was removed, but I doubt it will be done in October this year.
Waste is still thrown away from the back door with a violation of NGT orders.
On the one hand, the waste is cleaned while on the other side is discarded.
Therefore, the result is zero and the situation It won’t improve if an effort is not done to immediately stop it, “Saxena added.
However, GMC denied Saxena’s allegations and said that the perimeter of the landfill site had been secured and waste was not discarded there again.
