At times when political leaders from Thane are fighting over garbage dumping by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) at Mulund, all of them seem to have ignored the fact that their own city, Thane, does not have its own dumping ground since the last four years. Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) officials are struggling to find a place to dump around 800 metric ton garbage generated in the city every day. The situation is so critical that heaps of garbage and garbage-laden trucks parked along the Eastern Expressway has become a regular sight in Thane. The civic authorities had identified 17-acre land for garbage dumping near Daighar village. But the land could not be used due to strong opposition from villagers. Despite acquiring the land, the officials have failed to construct an approach road to the proposed ground which has not become operational, leading to severe problems. Ironically, having earned laurels for various innovative projects in the past, TMC does not have a single project for scientific disposal of the garbage.
