According to Mitra, the agency has promised to process the waste within six months.

She asserted that Dadumajra Colony has one waste disposal site spread across 45 acres of land with two dumps of waste totaling 5 lakh metric tons and 8 lakh metric tons covering 16 acre and 8 acre of land, respectively. The residents of Dadumajra Colony, who live close by, have experienced inconvenience as a result of these garbage dumps.

Numerous fires broke out as a result of methane gas leaks from the dumping site endangering locals' lives. The area councilor and locals have called for the removal of the waste mountain as soon as possible because it poses a serious health risk to them, she continued.

According to a report, Chandigarh Smart City Limited will have finished bio-mining the 5 lakh metric tons of legacy waste by December 31, 2022.

The tender was awarded for Rs679.5 million, according to the commissioner. The estimates for bio-mining of legacy waste were approved by UT Adviser Dharam Pal in Match of this year at a cost of Rs 770 million.
