Mysuru: Alleging that the State Government had failed to find a permanent solution for the stench emanating from the Excel Plant at Sewage Farm premises in Vidyaranyapuram here which is leading to health hazards among the residents, former Minister S.A. Ramdas has said that he would launch an indefinite hunger stir near the Plant from tomorrow. Addressing a press meet at a private hotel here this morning, Ramdas said that many educational institutions in the vicinity, associations and organizations have extended their support to the stir. Claiming that 450 tonnes of all sorts of waste is being dumped every day at the Plant, when the Plant itself has the capacity to dispose off only 150 tonnes of waste per day, Ramdas alleged that barring the Zero Waste Management Plant at Kumbarakoppal, none of the nine other units set up in the city were functioning properly.
