A 2000 kilolitres per day capacity, Leachate Treatment Plant was inaugurated by Telangana Municipal Administration and Urban Development minister KT Rama Rao at Jawaharnagar dump yard.
This will ensure that Jawaharnagar and adjoining localities do not witness water pollution in the future.
Malkaram Cheruvu was polluted with wastewater because of the leachate which gathered at the Jawaharnagar dump yard.
The dumping yard was designed for 3,000 metric tonnes of garbage, but 8,000 metric tonnes are dumped daily.
Minister KT Rama Rao said the plant and other series of activities represent a significant investment in environmental sustainability.
