The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) will complete construction of 32 Micro Composting Centres (MCCs) out of which 43 proposed centres will be completed by the end of December 2020.
For assuring the conventional management of the wet waste in the Bhubaneswar, the BMC will be completing these centres as soon as possible. These MCCS will also be charged immediately more quickly after its completion. Right now 11 MCCs are entirely ready and one of the Temporary Transit Station (TTS) which has been processed the garbage and also paddled out the organic manure without any sanitation issue near Sainik School.
Eight MCCs were placed in Division-2 which is South-East and South-West Zones of the city and three in Division-1 which is falling under the North Zone of the City. The eleven completed MCCs include three at NICCO Park for Ward Nos – 28, 29, 35 and 36. Two at Laxmisagar Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) for Ward Nos – 32, 33, 42 and 43, one at Baragarh crematorium for Ward No – 44 and two at Gopabandhu Nagar for Ward Nos – 47, 48 and 51.
Since March, due to the lockdown, the construction work was affected due to the restriction on the movement of labourers. Due to COVID-19, the work was at a slow pace, but now the work has been resumed, and the target is to complete the work of at least 32 MCCS by the end of 2020. Out of the total 43 proposed MCCs, work on 11 sites has not started due to land-related disputes and public protest. However, the issue will be resolved soon, and construction works on these MCCs will begin shortly.
