Pyaranagar Could Become Next Destination for Solid Waste

06 Jan 2025 CW Team

The government is optimistic about a 125-acre site at Pyaranagar in Sangareddy district but faces significant opposition from local villagers. Drawing from the challenges faced at Lagacherla, officials remain cautious about advancing the plan.

An anonymous official shared, "We’ve completed all the necessary procedures for setting up the facility there. The Pollution Control Board and the District Collector have given us the green light. The only obstacle now is the resistance from the local population."

The site is surrounded by forest land, with an access road running through it. However, locals are concerned about garbage trucks passing through their villages. The new facility is set to be much more technologically advanced than the one at Jawaharnagar, with features designed to eliminate unpleasant odours and prevent open dumping. It will also include a 48 MW waste-to-energy plant to utilise combustible waste on-site.

While three additional sites have been identified for solid waste management facilities, they remain under consideration. A 100-acre site in Lakdaram, Sangareddy, and a 200-acre site in Malkaram, Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri, are still being evaluated, while a proposed 85-acre site at Dundigal was rejected by the Telangana State Pollution Control Board due to its proximity to the Outer Ring Road.

The Jawaharnagar facility currently handles over 8,000 metric tonnes of solid waste daily, with a capacity to convert 60-70% of it into refuse-derived fuel for power generation. However, due to its inability to process the volume, waste often piles up, causing severe pollution and stench. The ongoing legacy waste dump also contaminates both groundwater and surface water during rainfall. Consequently, there have been continuous calls for the relocation of the facility.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has struggled for years to find alternative sites for decentralised solid waste management facilities. While protests against the Jawaharnagar landfill continue to intensify, the Corporation is still in the process of locating suitable alternatives to divert some of the city's waste.
