Chandigarh's municipal commissioner, Amit Kumar, has ordered the firms working on the Dadumajra dumping ground project to accelerate bio-mining and the clearance of legacy waste. This directive came after Kumar's inspection revealed incomplete records related to refuse-derived fuel testing, leading to a demand for strict adherence to contractual obligations. He emphasized the importance of a 'mission-mode approach' with continuous operations and adequate manpower to mitigate environmental impacts on nearby residents. The project has faced delays, with completion initially scheduled for July 2025, then pushed to September and November 2025, and is now expected to be finished by May 31, 2026. The ongoing issues with the legacy landfill have sparked concern within the municipal corporation, particularly as Chandigarh's cleanliness rankings have suffered due to these delays.
