Dhalaos will soon be a thing of the past. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) hopes to begin door-to-door garbage collection in Shahdara (south) in next 45 days. They also plan to float tenders to invite private parties to carry out the collection in Najafgarh and South zone within the next three weeks. The MCD's standing committee assured on Wednesday that door-to-door collection project would take-off by March as promised by L-G Tejendra Khanna. Each household would be provided with green and blue plastic bags to segregate garbage on the basis of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. The system will be implemented through RWAs who will monitor the scheme. From households, the garbage will be taken in two-bin rickshaws to an integrated treatment and disposal facility. However, the success of this venture is questionable, considering that a similar effort was made by the civic agency in the past also. It wasn't successful due to lack of proper public awareness which is missing even now. The standing committee also passed a proposal to carry out a feasibility study for extraction of greenhouse gases from the landfill sites at Ghazipur, Okhla and Bhalswa. The MCD has got a grant of 489,000 dollars from a Japanese firm named Policy and Human Resource Development (PHRD) for this purpose. The grant was arranged by the World Bank. This project will help in earning carbon credits also. Said additional commissioner (engineering) Naresh Kumar:
