Summary:

We asked CEO Tandon that if Astoli was designated as a MSW processing and disposal site in 2013, how come the Master Plan of 2031 state Sector 123 as a landfill site? MP Mahesh Sharma has suggested the setting up of a committee of people drawn from residential societies and villages and Noida authority officials to find a solution to the problem. “If the Authority does not acknowledge the chief minister who said the landfill site at Sector 123 should be 2km away from residential areas in the presence of his MP and MLA, what hope can we have from it on this matter? Waste is being transported in open trolleys and trucks (nearly 24 per day) and stored in the open..
