multiple dump yards in Hyderabad to tackle garbage woes

HYDERABAD: In a bid to alleviate the escalating garbage disposal crisis in Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday has recommended the establishment of four dump yards strategically positioned on the outskirts of the city. This proactive measure aims to mitigate the adverse effects currently experienced by residents living near the solitary dump yard in Jawahar Nagar.

Jawahar Nagar dump yard currently bears the responsibility of processing about 8,000 tonnes of waste every day, which contributes to air pollution and unpleasant odours for neighbouring residents. Officials had already selected potential dump yard areas in Shamshabad and Medak to handle the mounting environmental challenges.

The Chief Minister Reddy emphasized the need for a thorough examination of the proposed sites to ensure minimal disruption to local communities.

He also suggested the potential generation of 15 MW of electricity from garbage, urging officials to collaborate with the Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) for this initiative.

Expressing unwavering government support, Revanth Reddy encouraged the establishment of garbage recycling plants as part of a comprehensive solution to Hyderabad’s waste management challenges. The proposed measures align with a broader commitment to environmental sustainability and public well-being
