In Mumbai, even a garbage dump needs to be safeguarded. The municipal corporation has sought police protection against anti-social elements and ragpickers at the Deonar dumping ground.
The menace has grown to such an extent that contractors are finding it difficult to carry out work at the site. For several decades now, the garbage generated by Mumbai has been disposed of at Deonar. Now that the site is to be closed, however, the Bombay high court has directed the corporation to fill it scientifically.
The BMC has appointed Tatva Global Environment to carry out the work of partial closure and maintenance of the existing dump on a design, build, own, operate,transfer (DBOOT) model.
