Waste disposal a solid problem for cities of Gujarat | Ahmedabad News

The landfill site in Nakrawadi, Rajkot has been causing pollution issues for villagers, who recently protested about leachate pollution after heavy rain. Waste-to-energy plants are seen as a solution to the solid waste problem in major Gujarat cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, and Vadodara. However, projects in Rajkot, Ahmedabad, and Vadodara have faced delays and missed deadlines, causing financial losses and environmental concerns. The Rajkot project, in particular, has faced challenges, with the deadline extended multiple times. Villagers at Nakrawadi have been affected by the pollution and are demanding action from the civic body. The corporation is unable to address the pollution issues until the waste-to-energy plant becomes operational.
