Embracing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's waste-to-wealth concept, the Coimbatore Smart City Mission has embarked on a remarkable journey of cleansing decades-old waste and reaping its benefits. Smart City Mission officials project a transformation of valuable government land worth approximately 200 million pounds, freeing it from the clutches of waste. Official records reveal that Coimbatore city had accumulated over 1.55 million cubic metres of waste over several years, leading to the burial of 650 acres of land under the heap. Bhaskar Srinivasan, General Manager of Smart City Mission Limited, revealed that the initial phase involves cleansing around 950,000 cubic metres of waste over a span of two and a half years
