The scientific closure of the garbage depot at
Phursungi-Urali will now be delayed. According to a civic administration
proposal, the deadline for the capping project will be extended to December
2015 instead of June 2014. The standing committee of Pune Municipal Corporation
(PMC) will take a call on the new deadline. “Currently, only 300 tonne of
garbage per day is being processed. The remaining 700 tonne is put in sanitary
landfill site. This garbage needs to be capped as PMC has no land available for
landfill.
