Chatrath said that the decision for setting up the plant was taken keeping in mind the requirement of waste disposal in the city. She says,The plant was set up as the landfill was fast filling up and was considered the most suitable technology at the time. Now,it is for the Municipal Commissioner to decide on the issue.
