Shiv Sena Opposes ₹2,100-Crore Waste‑to‑Energy Project
Shiv Sena, a local political party, says a big waste‑to‑energy plant planned for the Turbhe landfill in Navi Mumbai is a bad idea.
They worry it will make the area smell bad and hurt people's health.
The plant would turn trash into power and gas, but the party wants it moved elsewhere.
The city’s waste company says the plant will help manage trash for the future.
Residents have complained about pollution for years, and the party wants the landfill closed.
Shiv Sena opposes a ₹2,100‑crore waste‑to‑energy project at Turbhe landfill.
The project would create power and bio‑CNG from waste.
Shiv Sena demands the project be relocated and no work order issued until a joint meeting.
Residents and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board have long complained about pollution and health hazards.
NMMC plans the project as a public‑private partnership with a 26% stake.
