With their proposal for dumping of municipal waste at Naubasta Kala running into rough weather following protests by locals, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) and Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) have begun the search for a new site. The new site, well placed sources at LMC, claim could be the one in village Achanamau in Bakshi-Ka-Talab tehsil, around 20 kms away from the heart of the state capital. At present there being no official site for dumping of waste, it is being thrown along the river bank near Gandhi Setu and at some place near IIM. Naubasta Kala, the site earlier proposed by the LMC and LDA, came under cloud after the land was found to be fit for residential housing with even a lake on the ground. The TOI on December 1 had reported the existence of a 50,000 square feet lake in the centre of the proposed site. While municipal commissioner, SK Singh could not be contacted for his comments, LMC sources said that a team of officials from LMC did visit the new site in Achanamau, a couple of days back. The site is said to spread over an area of 30 acres
