A team of officials from Hubballi Dharwad Municipal Corporation will soon visit Varanasi where NTPC is setting up a Waste to Energy (WTE) Plant estimated to cost ₹180 crore.
The visit is part of HDMC’s plan to address the problem of waste that has accumulated over the last four-five decades in the dumping yards of Hubballi and Dharwad. NTPC has chosen Hubballi for a similar project.
During the first general body meeting of the municipal council, Mayor Iresh Anchatageri instructed Commissioner B. Gopalkrishna to take a team of officials to Varanasi to study the project there and submit recommendations for the Hubballi project of the NTPC.
