Pune Pimpri-chinchwad : Electricity from refuse

Pune Though the district and civic authorities have promised to start segregating the dry and wet garbage in the next three months and that open dumping of garbage will be stopped in six months, the villagers of Urali Devachi and Phursungi on Monday deferred any decision regarding the Pune Municipal Corporation lifting garbage from the bins.

Around 50 inhabitants of Cavorim-Chandor and Guirdolim villages decided to take up the task of managing the garbage in their area by collaborating with the panchayats, church bodies and other organizations.

The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) has decided to utilise tons of domestic garbage and carcass of animals in a different way. The LMC in place of dumping garbage and carcass on the outskirts of the city will now use it for production of cooking gas. The task has been assigned to a city-based NGO. The decision was taken at a meeting held at the directorate of local bodies here on Thursday.
