MCD will get NOC in three days, says Mayor

Thursday, 23 January 2020 | PNS | Dehradun

On meeting with the locals and members of Pachwadoon Sanyukt Samiti, Dehradun mayor Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’ reportedly said that MCD will get No Objection Certificate (NOC) for its solid waste management and recycling plant at Sheeshambada renewed in three days.

According to Sheeshambada resident Prem Singh Negi, “The mayor said that MCD will get NOC in three days and that the plant is not going to be shifted.”

On Wednesday, locals of Sheeshambada met the mayor and municipal commissioner regarding the solid waste management and recycling plant. President of Pachwadoon Sanyukt Samiti, Chaitanya Anil Gaud said, “The municipal commissioner told us that the treatment plant for leachate will be operational soon and all necessary steps will be taken by MCD. However, we don’t believe this as we have been listening to false assurances for quite some time. That is why we decided to meet the mayor too."

Negi said, “The municipal commissioner is denying any problems at the waste management plant but we live there and we know how terrible it is. Since the plant opened, people have been falling sick more often. The municipal commissioner is rejecting our claims as false but to start with, skin allergies are visible in most residents while the machinery generates noise day and night. Anyone who doubts our claims is welcome to examine the place and locals too,” he added.

Advocate from Sheeshambada, Rajkumar Sehgal said, “According to the Supreme Court guidelines, solid waste management and recycling plant cannot be constructed and operated so close to a residential area or near a river. Besides, MCD is working without No Objection Certificate (NOC) for more than five months. Are all these things not illegal?"

Locals claimed that they did not let the solid plant operate since Tuesday evening and that it is still locked up. However, municipal commissioner stated that the plant is operating now. Meanwhile, deputy municipal commissioner Rohitash Sharma said that most probably MCD will get NOC for the plant in three days.
