To reach another milestone in addressing the age-old issues associated with the Jawahar Nagar dump yard, a 2,000 KLD capacity leachate treatment plant is to be inaugurated.  

This will happen by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Minister KT Rama Rao.  

The GHMC related to the leachate generated from the legacy dumpsite at Jawahar Nagar has planned to set up the treatment plant with a budget of over Rs. 250 crores.  

The work was entrusted to Ramky Infrastructure Ltd.  

The residents of Jawahar Nagar have been facing problems from decades of unscientific waste dumping at the yard.  

According to officials, their problems will get resolved with this 2,000 KLD capacity leachate treatment plant. 

The estimated quantity of the legacy leachate is 8,49,780.88 Kilolitre (KL), and by April 12, a cumulative 1,64,373.60 KL legacy leachate had been treated.
