JAMMU, Nov 23: Senior BJP leader and former Jammu Mayor, Rajinder Sharma has shown serious concern over increase of about Rs seven to eight crore by Jammu Municipal Corporation on garbage disposal for the year 2024-25 than previous year.
Sharma during a visit to Kot Bhalwal garbage dumping site told reporters that money is being spend on dumpers and tippers without applying mind.
He added that in 2023-24, expenditure on garbage disposal was Rs. 5-6 crore which has now touched Rs. 13 crore, & added that in papers, total garbage of 350 metric tons is collected from Jammu daily but in reality it is only 300 metric tons.
Sharma further said that 60 tippers were engaged for garbage disposal in 2023-24 and every tipper used to make 2 trips to Kot Bhalwal dumping site daily to dispose the garbage but today same quantity of garbage is removed by 130 tippers and every tipper is only making a single trip to Kot Bhalwal.
