The burning of garbage in the Dehurod cantonment area within Pimpri-Chinchwad has stirred distress among citizens, prompting MLA Mahesh Landge to appeal to the Maharashtra state government for proactive intervention. MLA Landge emphasizes the need for a waste disposal project in the cantonment area, addressing health concerns arising from the burning of waste in Rupinagar and Talwade villages.
Key Points Raised by MLA Mahesh Landge:
- Cancellation of Punawale Garbage Depot: MLA Landge highlights the cancellation of the proposed Punawale Garbage Depot during the winter session in Nagpur. Commending MLA Ashwini Jagtap and acknowledging citizen concerns, MLA Landge calls for a waste disposal alternative in the cantonment area.
- Challenges in Moshi Garbage Depot: The MLA underscores the challenges faced by residents of Moshi and nearby areas, enduring the odor from garbage depots for four decades. Despite the ‘Waste to Energy’ project’s implementation, the Dehu Cantonment lacks a waste treatment plant, leading to the burning of collected waste in Rupinagar-Talwade.
- Complaints and Municipal Intervention: Complaints regarding smoke and stench from citizens prompt the Municipal Corporation to address waste disposal with the Cantonment. However, no action has been taken, necessitating the transport of waste to the Moshi waste depot.
- Solid Waste Management Projects: MLA Landge calls for state government intervention in implementing solid waste management projects in Srikshetra Dehu and Srikshetra Alandi. He raises concerns about the illegal burning of waste from Dehurod cantonment limits within Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal limits.
- Government Assurance: Cabinet Minister Uday Samant assures positive government intervention on solid waste projects in Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipality, Dehu Cantonment, Srikshetra Dehu, and Srikshetra Alandi in response to MLA Landge’s concerns.
Conclusion:
MLA Mahesh Landge expresses gratitude for canceling the Punawale waste depot and urges government attention to the challenges faced by Pimpri-Chinchwad residents due to the burning of waste in the Moshi depot. The call for state government intervention underscores the urgency of addressing solid waste management issues in the region.
