Govt mulling to generate power from waste using France technology: DCM Parameshwar
Winter Session
Belagavi, December 12: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that the government was planning to generate power from the waste being produced in Bengaluru city by using France technology to find a permanent solution to the garbage issue.
Responding to a question from Yeshwanthpur MLA ST Somashekar during Question Hour in the Session at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha here on Wednesday, the DCM said that earlier, the Bengaluru was spreading around 250 km and now, it has extended to 800 km. Every day, around six thousand metric tonne garbage including one and half metric tonne solid waste from hotels, Kalyana Mantapas and apartments and four thousand from households was being generated in Bengaluru city alone.
It was branded as garbage city. But the coalition government has been solving the problem in a phased manner. Priority has been given to generate power from the solid waste instead of dumping it somewhere. When he had been to France tour recently, he had studied that technology and if he got the cooperation and support from all stakeholders, the government would implement the plan to find a permanent solution to the garbage issue in the city, he said.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
