Waste disposal plan hits snag

The already delayed project of a door-to-door collection of city's solid waste has suffered yet another setback as the Chinese firm, which had signed an agreement with the city government, has expressed its reservations over investing $230 million in view of the country's fragile political and law and order situation. Sources told Dawn that the overall political situation and the steps taken by the provincial government for the control of the water utility and the KBCA had compelled the Chinese firm to review its decision of investing in the project.
