Mangaluru: a large project to remove mangaluru city heritage waste on the dumping page in Pachanady has not been approved by the Ministry of Finance even though the country’s cabinet has cleared it in August last year.
Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has prepared a detailed project report (DPR) to clean nearly 10 lakh tons of waste inheritance from Pachanady using biomining technology.
The same was approved by the State Cabinet on August 19, 2021 and City Corporation had completed the bidder from Hyderabad to carry out the biomining process.
