MLA Directs Officials to Address Madikeri’s Waste Management Issues

Madikeri, Oct 23: Dr. Manthar Gowda, the MLA for the Madikeri constituency, has issued a stern directive to officials to immediately resolve the waste management crisis currently plaguing Madikeri city.

Speaking at the final meeting of the current City Municipal Council (CMC) term—presided over by CMC President P. Kalavathi—the MLA emphasized that the legacy waste accumulated at Stone Hill must be cleared as soon as possible. He noted that the contractor has already agreed to remove the waste that has been segregated, and urged that necessary steps be taken to execute this. "People are criticizing us now for a mistake made back in 2004, accusing us of inaction," he remarked, reiterating the need for urgent clearance. In response, Assistant Executive Engineer Satish stated that the contractor has expressed willingness to proceed with the removal, provided that payments for the work completed thus far are released. He further informed that a total of 75,000 tonnes of waste has already been segregated, with an estimated 5,000 metric tonnes still remaining.

The MLA stated that the additional work cannot simply be assigned to the existing contractor; instead, a new project report must be prepared and a fresh tender process initiated to complete the clearance. He assured that efforts would be made to secure additional funding, warning that failure to do so would render the work already accomplished futile.
