The National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research (NITTTR) has submitted a proposal for expanding the wet waste processing capacity of the Chandigarh municipal corporation.
Mayor Ravi Kant Sharma said, “We have received their proposal for setting up a plant for improving the capacity of wet waste processing.”
The MC has asked IIT Ropar to prepare a detailed project report and request for proposal (RFP) for upgrading the solid waste processing plant in Sector 25. IIT Ropar will also prepare a plan for wet and horticulture waste processing.
“We will depend on the IIT-Ropar report, and at this stage, NITTTR’s proposal has been put on the back burner. We will ask them to give their inputs to IIT Ropar on the issue,” said a MC official.
