The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Station shows that it is insufficient to master the huge waste created during the Ganesh Chathurthi festival for 11 days, forcing the civic body to increase the number of transmission in the city.
GHMC has a total of 42 gears/secondary collection and transmission points throughout the city. Of these, five main gears are equipped with a waste of wasting more than 300 tonnes a day and are located in Imlibun, the lower tank, Nagole, Kaithalapur and Yusufguda.
On 11 SCTP with a static compact facility, the waste received a daily amount of 200-300 tons per day. They are located in the department, Miralam Tank, Amberpet, Nerredmet, Autonagar, Devendernagar, Jiyaguda, Jagadirigutta, Machabolarum, Deeptisri Nagar and Pachancher.
Sixteen other SCTPs are equipped with portable compactors and can handle waste for a melody of 50-80 tonnes a day, while at 10 SCTPs equipped with a waste compact vehicle, solid waste has received between 20-30 tonnes.
The solid waste collected from the whole city is first transported to shipping stations or SCTPS, where it is segregated and compacted before transmission to a centralized fixed waste management facility in Jawahar Nagar.
During the 11 days of Ganesh Festival, solid waste per day was reportedly strengthened by 1500-1600 tonnes a day, so the civic body left breath to handle a huge increase. The transfer of stations/points was filled in no time, which is the fact that the will become a difficult task.
GHMC reported that from 27 August, the day of the festival, until Sunday 7th September, a total of 20,000 tons of waste was collected in addition to the daily average. Smoking points and process routes are still cleaned from waste and therefore the character increases. A total of 14,480 hygiene workers, creating Ganesh action teams, worked continuously to clean the streets of waste. Workers were provided with garbage bags that increased the pace of waste collection, but SCTPS could not match speed.
Given the current situation, the GHMC RV Karnan Commissioner reliably learned that he decided to increase the number of gearboxes by 18 others, which increased the total value to 60 years. Reportedly, he gave the task of identifying the location to create a new SCTP on common commissioners on hygiene. They are to carry out field inspections and come with a message within 15 days.
