The project is setting up one Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
processing plant near Rajkot. The facility entails MSW processing to derive Refuse Derived Fuel
(RDF), which shall be used as alternative fuel in nearby cement and oil industries. The plant

Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, the city municipal corporation, has planned to set up an integrated
municipal solid waste treatment plant in the city. With a capacity to process 1,000 tonnes of waste per
day, the plant will be located on a 25-acre plot in Doddabidrakallu. BBMP has proposed to develop the
project on BOT basis and the process for selecting private developers is already under way. The
municipal corporation will assist in land procurement.
Last month, it may be recalled, Jaypee Associates commissioned a 500-tpd MSW treatment plant in
Chandigarh. Set up at a cost of Rs 30 crore on a 10-acre expanse at Dadu Majra, this the largest MSW
plant in north India. The plant is expected to start regular operations by August this year.
In an MSW treatment plant, waste is processed into an intermediate product called refuse-derived fuel
which in turn can be used for several applications include power generation.
Municipal solid waste refers to materials discarded in urban areas for which municipalities are usually
held responsible for collection, transport and final disposal. MSW includes household refuse, institutional
waste, street sweeping, etc. Estimates suggest that in Third World nations, only 50 per cent of the total
MSW collected is scientifically disposed. In India, the per capita generation of MSW in metropolitan cities
is estimated at 0.5 kg per day. It is lower (0.2-0.4 kg per capita per day) in non-metro urban centres.

LUCKNOW: A review meeting of the UP State Advisory Council was held on Monday to assess
the environmental viability of the proposed Municipal Solid Waste plant at Kakori. The
discussion, however, remained inconclusive, with SAC seeking additional details from UP Jal
Nigam, the implementing authority for the plant.

A senior UP Jal Nigam official said: "We have been asked to prepare a site plan wherein no trees
are cut on the piece of land that has been acquired. We would do the needful in a week." The
new blueprint may be readied in a week, but officials are not willing to commit that no trees
would be felled during the operations. The official added: "We would ensure that the least
damage is done."

Director, Environment, Yashpal Singh said: "Both the setting up of the MSW plant as well as
protecting the environment are very important concerns for the government. A 9-member State
Expert Appraisal Committee met to discuss this issue today. We would meet again as soon as
UPJN can furnish the additional details."

Significantly, the opinion of the SAC will not be the final word on the setting up of the solid
waste plant.

After the advisory committee reaches a conclusion, it will send its recommendations to the State
Environment Assessment Impact Committee. The latter will take a final call on the fate of the
municipal plant at Kakori. The proposed MSW plant, spread over 98 acres of land in the mango
belt of Kakori block of Lucknow, has come under severe criticism from various quarters on
account of environmental concerns.

In addition, protests have also emanated from farmers' quarters, alleging that compensation
amounts offered against the acquisition of land have not been satisfactory and subsequent
statements that they would be unwilling to part with their land. The latter, however, does not
hold ground considering that the LDA has acquired the land in a systematic manner, first inviting
objections and then, fixing the compensation amounts.
