Summary:
Biomining of the 50-year-old landfill in Sathangadu near Tiruvottriyur in North Chennai would be wrapped up by early 2022, said Corporation officials. “For decades, Tiruvottiyur Municipality used to dump waste there and then a few years ago, Tiruvottriyur came under the Corporation limits. The dumpyard was then closed and waste is now sent to Kodungaiyur directly,’’ the official said. When Express visited the landfill, wood, rubber, plastic bags, and cloth wastes were found deeply tucked in to the sand. “We will chart out a detailed proposal once the biomining is done,’’ added the official..
