PMC garbage management marred by corruption, inefficiency

The United Nations Climate and Clean Air Award for Innovative Policy won by the Pune Municipal Corporation on September 11 at San Francisco for innovative waste segregation model in partnership with Swach is the latest in a string of awards won by the PMC. PMC garbage vehicles continue to dump mixed waste in the garbage ramp in Kothrud, which is later carried by trucks to Uruli Devachi and Phursungi landfill sites. Besides, as exposed by HT, the PMC waste segregation model suffers from serious deficiencies due to the mixing of segregated and un-segregated garbage which is transported to the landfills. In May, 2018, the CCI had imposed a fine of Rs 3.57 crore on six firms for colluding with PMC officials and undertaking bid rigging while filing tenders for thermal composting garbage plants in 2014. Senior Congressman Arvind Shinde said that Pune’s garbage problem has remained unresolved and awards presented to PMC for solid waste management are misleading.
