Notice for waste near Hindon river

Ghaziabad: The GMC has issued a notice to the Khoda Nagar Palika Parishad for dumping garbage alongside the Hindon river. Officials said a fine of Rs 5 lakh will be imposed on the violator for causing damage to the environment.
Health officer Mithilesh Kumar told TOI that the corporation had been receiving complaints from residents. “On October 15, an inspection was conducted and an earthmover was found dumping garbage near the river. Now, a notice has been issued and a report sought from the Parishad,” he added.
Also, garbage was reportedly being dumped by the Khoda Municipal Council around Nandi Park established by the GMC. Officials said such acts pollute both soil and water. At present, no type of garbage is being dumped at this site, they added.
After objections were raised in designated sites in Rajnagar Extension and Galand, waste could be seen littered all over Ghaziabad for the past two weeks. Sources said there is a possibility that the private body that has been given the contract to lift garbage could be dumping it anywhere.
Kumar said the responsibility would be fixed once they receive the reply from the Parishad. Khoda Nagar Palika Parishad executive officer Krishan Kant Mishra said he is yet to receive a notice from the corporation in this regard. “I am not in a position to comment on the matter as the Parishad has not received any letter yet,” he told TOI.
Meanwhile, the corporation has started the process to erect a boundary wall on a 44 acre land in Galand meant for garbage dumping and starting a waste-to-energy plant.
