All the preparations for the installation of the plant are done and now only a technical report from the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) is awaited. Once that is done, over 400 tonne waste being generated in Noida daily won`t be seen dumped at every nook and corner of the town.

According to R.S. Chahar, secretary, Noida Authority, the work of setting up a solid waste plant has been entrusted to a Roorkee-based agency. This agency was selected after the agency hired earlier expressed its inability to go ahead with the project.

A number of locations have been surveyed for the plant and the volume of waste being generated in Noida has been assessed, he said.

Now only a technical report from the HUDCO is awaited, he added.

The HUDCO report is expected within four months, after which the solid waste management plant in Noida should be operational within a year, feel Noida Authority officials.
