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.

It's all drama: Mamata on PM making pit stop to buy 'jhalmuri' during Bengal poll campaign
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unscheduled stop to buy ‘jhalmuri’ during poll campaigning was "drama".
Her comment came a day after Modi made a pit stop during his campaign tour in Jhargram to buy ‘jhalmuri’, a popular Bengali street food made of puffed rice, green chillies, and other spices.
"It's all drama. How come a camera was present when the Prime Minister suddenly made an unscheduled stop during the campaign? The entire episode was scripted. He was seen carrying a Rs 10 note in his pocket. Is it believable?" Banerjee said without naming Modi.
The TMC supremo was addressing a poll rally in Murarai assembly constituency in Birbhumm district.
