“I will write to Ministry of Tourism to make it mandatory in all five and four star hotels and eatery establishments to have organic waste plant,” Naidu said while inaugurating a plant in Malcha Marg market here.
The plant, which can process one tonne waste in 24 hours, will convert the organic waste of hotels and eateries in this area into compost for horticulture and agriculture use.
Calling the project undertaken by New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) a step in the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Naidu said the plant will be helpful in saving the cost of collection, transportation and disposal of waste.
“It will also reduce the landfill space and water, noise & air pollution,” he said.
NDMC Chairman Jalaj Srivastava said the introduction of this system to convert organic waste to compost will replace the old manual garbage disposal system.
The plant will be able to convert organic waste into compost within 24 hours using the composting machine, he said.
Two similar plants have been installed at Palika Services Officers Institute, Vinay Marg and at Malcha Marg Market.
Earlier, Naidu also inaugurated a public toilet unit (PTU) at Hanuman Lane which has been constructed by NDMC under public-private-partnership project.
Asking DDA to provide housing facility to people who migrate to the capital city, Naidu said it should take up construction of 1 lakh houses by the end of 2015 and informed that around 62,000 houses are already under various stages of construction and planning.
He said Delhi Building Bylaws have been simplified by the government and no sanction is now required for construction on plots of upto 100 square metre.
Naidu said the government recently allowed freehold rights (from leasehold) to the residents of 23 Nazul estates whose leases had expired.
Similarly, ownership rights have also been given to the residents of areas like Pahar Ganj, Darya Ganj, Karol Bagh, among others, who were till now paying ‘chulha tax’ and were not owners of their residences.
