Hi everybody,
I am personally appreciating this move as it will less the pollution in the city. As of now, the administration has identified the locations where it will for setting up the plant. The tenders to running the facility will be issued, after the elected members give a clearance. The agency would collect the material from the designated spots and transport it to the plant.

As per the sources, about 100-150 tonnes of debris, including concrete, bricks, cement plaster and iron, is generated in Pune every day. Construction and renovation work in the city has picked up over the years and with it responsibly dumping the debris has turned into an issue. It has resulted in to negligent dumping.

@Nitesh,
And soon a plant will be set up to convert the debris into useful products. The decision on who will run the plant will be taken after discussions with elected members and senior civic officials. According to the rules, local bodies will have to utilize 10-20% of material from construction and debris waste in municipal and government contracts for construction.

It is a really a recommendable job by the PMC. Under the debris collection system, the civic administration is coming up with a debris collection system, under which it will appoint an agency to collect unused material and debris from the doorstep.

Hi Ravindra,
Last couple of years, i am looking that government is very serious controlling the pollution. Under this system, vehicles will be sent to places where the debris is generated. People, who wish to dispose off the debris would have to submit a construction plan of their construction activity to the civic body.

As per the people, the unscientific disposal of debris is leading to further problems. It is causing problems to the nullahs. Most of the debris is dumped along riverside, which has caused damages to the river. It is also causing problems to the nullahs.
