Devendra Fadnavis warns KDMC officials on dump yard

KALYAN: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday chaired a meeting to solve long-pending issues related to Aadharwadi dumping ground in Kalyan.
During the hearing, the CM instructed KDMC chief Govind Bodke and other department officials to close down the dumping ground within a specific time frame. He also gave instructions to start scientific processing of the waste at Umbarde and launch the bio gas project by September 15, warning of stern action in case of delay, said sources. Sources said Fadnavis warned officials their salaries would be stopped and the state government would also block funds to KDMC.
The HC and National Green Tribunal had asked the civic body to shut down the dumping ground, but KDMC has failed to start projects at Umbarde and Barave due to opposition from locals.
