Hyderabad:Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu said the state government was working towards building a sustainable, inclusive and environmentally responsible future in line with Telangana Rising – 2047 vision.
He was speaking at two-day national review meeting on ‘Swachh Bharat Mission–Urban 2.0’, inaugurated by Union urban affairs minister Manohar Lal Khattar in Delhi on Tuesday. The meeting was organised to strengthen urban sanitation, cleanliness and solid waste management systems. Bhatti explained the scientific waste management systems, sustainable urban development initiatives, sanitation programmes and circular economy measures being implemented in Telangana.
Bhatti said the state government was introducing 9,596 electric Swachh Auto Tippers in core urban regions. These electric vehicles will help reduce carbon emissions from municipal operations and promote cleaner transportation systems. He said the vehicles are being designed with separate compartments to facilitate four-way source segregation and QR-code based monitoring for efficient door-to-door waste collection.
In the case of the Jawaharnagar dump yard in Hyderabad, technical assistance and advisory support was being obtained from IIT Bombay. The objective, he said, is not merely cosmetic intervention, but the creation of a long-term environmental management and continuous monitoring system.
He also informed that around 22 lakh metric tonnes of waste spread over nearly 40 acres at the Autonagar dump site are being processed through biomining, with nearly 30 percent of the waste already processed. The reclaimed land, he said, would not be reused for dumping, but developed into parks, sports facilities and public infrastructure in the future.
