Speaking on the development, Pankaj Srivastava, the additional municipal commissioner, said, “LMC has initiated the construction work at an accelerated pace. The waste transfer station will serve as a vital hub where solid waste from Zone-3 and Zone-5 will be temporarily stationed. The facility will play a crucial role in sorting wet and dry waste before its transportation to the processing plant at Shivri.”

Highlighting the operational details, Srivastava added, “Approximately 100 metric tonnes of waste will undergo separation daily at the transfer station. Following this process, it will be transported to the processing plant located at Shivri for further treatment.” The responsibility for constructing the transfer station has been entrusted to the TPS company, with a directive to complete the project promptly.
