The State government was in the process of initiating a project to generate power from waste, Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru said here on Sunday. It would be implemented in Coimbatore, Madurai and Chennai, and is expected to resolve the issue of waste accumulation.
As for the waste management issue in the Vellalore dump yard, the Minister said the Coimbatore Corporation had reclaimed 16 acre after processing accumulated waste through the bio-mining, he told media persons after launching projects and inspecting various works.
In response to a question on the stalled Kurichi tank development work, he said the Corporation would soon invite the contractor concerned for talks for resumption of work. While discussing the resumption of work, the Corporation would keep in mind the complaints that excess concrete was being used on bunds and that the water spread area was reduced.
