Mysore/Mysuru: The Karnataka Government will soon approve a Detailed Project Report (DPR) worth Rs. 57 crore to clear mounds of legacy waste that has piled up over the years, causing unbearable stench at the Solid Waste Management Unit (Excel Plant) at Sewage Farm premises in Vidyaranyapuram here.
“Over 6.5 lakh tonnes of waste have accumulated at Sewage Farm and this is a long-pending issue. Now Rs. 57 crore has been allocated from Swachh Bharat Mission funds and the proposal will be cleared by the Urban Development Department soon, after getting approval from the Government,” Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha told reporters this morning.
