The legacy of waste of nearly 3.08 tonnes accumulated in Mysuru over the years that is a blot on the city landscape, is set to be treated and cleared as the biomining project is a step closer to implementation.
Tenders for the biomining or bioremediation project were being finalised and the work orders are expected to be issued in due course. The project has been delayed as the Government was forced to call for tenders afresh as only one company participated in the bid when it was invited the first time. Subsequently fresh tenders were issued and this has received good response from various companies already engaged in the process and the MCC is expected to finalise the bid in the days ahead before issuing the work order.
The project entails clearing the legacy waste at sewage farm in Chamundipuram at the rate of nearly 600 tonnes daily and is expected to be completed in about 18 months. Sources in the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) said that once completed, the MCC can reclaim about 17 acres of land for creating any other infrastructure to cater to the requirements of Mysuru.
