Islamabad: Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation (IMC) and Capital Development Authority (CDA) have proposed a new dumping site near Sangjani Margalla Hills, stated a news source. According to Sanitation Director Sardar Khan Zimri, the civic body has acquired 100 acres land from the Punjab Department of Forestry to use as a landfill site.
Zimri said that the capital generates 600 to 700 metric tonnes of solid waste on a daily basis which is dumped at the temporary landfill in Sector I-12. He added that a proposal to establish a solid waste plant at the site is underway as a way of stopping the discharge of water into streams and rivers.
