Minister for the Municipal Administration & Urban Development (MA & UD) K.T. Rama Rao asked officials to identify sites for dump yards in Ranga Reddy, Sangareddy and Yadadri Bhuvanagiri districts, considering the needs of the capital city for the coming 50 years.
Mr. Rama Rao chaired the city convergence meeting at the GHMC headquarters on Monday, where he addressed various issues, including dump yard sites, action against private dumps of construction and demolition waste, and plans to beautify Musi river and the surrounding areas, besides other topics.
He said that the plans for the dump yards should be practical, and optimise the land and its utility. He directed officials to consider abandoned quarry sites too besides lands not fit for agriculture. The Minister asked for a report on dump yards at Pyarangar, Khanapur and Dundigal to be submitted in a week.
