The Indian Oil has expressed desire to set up a solid waste processing, treatment and management plant in the suburban area to dispose of tons of waste generated in the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency in a more scientific manner and in a bid to cater to the growing population of the city.
A proposal for the same was put forth by the representatives of the commercial enterprise to mayor Ramgopal Mohley during a meeting with various organizations to discuss scope of work under corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the presence of officials of ministry of urban development at Varanasi Municipal Corporation (VMC) on Tuesday evening. For this, the enterprise has asked for an eight-acre land and resources for carrying the collected waste to the treatment plant.
Considering this a need of the hour, Mohley had asked them to prepare a written proposal which needs to be submitted to municipal commissioner Shrihari Pratap Shahi within two days. Notably, the total quantity of waste generated in the city is about 650 MT per day assuming that locals generate solid waste of about 425 grams per person per day on an average.
