Bhubaneswar: BMC Commissioner Vijay Amruta Kulange Saturday said that it will take six to seven months to clear the garbage from the Temporary Transit Centre (TTC) located behind Sainik School in Bhubaneswar.
Notably, locals residing near Sainik School have been exasperated by the foul smell emanating from the TTC for some time now.
Kulange said that the absence of waste segregation in households has led to the garbage menace. He also emphasised that measures would be implemented to address this problem at door-to-door collection points.

“We have procured a machine to process the excess amount of waste and soon another machine will be bought in the next 15 days,” Kulange said.
The Commissioner further appealed all denizens to ensure that they hand over garbage by segregating it into waste collection vehicles and warned that action would be taken against those who would fail to comply with the guidelines.
