The MCC has set up five zero waste management plants in five among nine zones in the city and said the remaining four will be completed during 2013-14. At the centralized location, non-degradable waste and bio-degradable waste will be treated separately
Rupees one core has been approved for the development of Dalvoy Lake lying adjacent to JP Nagar and MCC is proposing to develop the lake like the legendary Kukkarahalli Lake. The residents of Vidyaranyapuram, JP Nagar and surrounding areas are relieved. However, the sewage treatment plant at the site will not be moved out.The chairman of the taxation and finance standing committee said that the three sewage treatment plants which are located at three different places in the city will be upgraded and the solid waste management plant will be moved to Rayanakere. The chairman had protested more than once seeking relocation of the garbage plant while the real estate sector had lobbied for it.
The centralised solid waste management plant in Mysore city will be relocated to the outskirts very soon. The MCC has decided to shift the solid waste management plant to Rayanakere on H D Kote Road which has come as a great relief to the residents. Many real estate developers are focusing on JP Nagar and surrounding areas to develop new layouts, but the decision of shifting the solid waste management plant is likely to create ripples in the real estate sector.
