Municipal Corporation Of Delhi to use `rich experience' to solve problemsBy Riti, Section Development
Back from an eight-day trip of Germany and Italy, MCD's top brass claim the jaunt to be a ``rich experience.'' The delegation has emphasised that after studying models of civic amenities in European countries, they are now keen to replicate some of them in the Capital.
For instance, after visiting various multi-level parking sites, the delegation was particularly impressed with the usefulness of an underground parking project under a street in Munich, Germany. ``Given Delhi's expensive real estate, a parking facility that does not utilise land space would be a good option,'' the delegation claimed. According to the delegation, a presentation on tapping solar energy by a Munich-based company, Prexma, revealed some interesting possibilities for the city. In the presentation, it was pointed out that Germany is one of the largest producer and consumer of solar energy. Interestingly, the consulting company also revealed that India receive more solar days than Germany and hence the potential for using solar energy is much brighter. Click on Full Story for More.
Finally, the delegation visited the site of Mac Presse Europa at Milano, Italy for understanding and learning the latest practices and technology in the field of solid waste management. The company making the presentation explained that they have set up a facility in Bangkok where the waste generated is similar to Delhi in terms of calorific content and composition of waste.
The company also showed the delegation their plant, where various equipment related to municipal solid waste are manufactured. The presentation was followed by an active question-answer session. The company also promised the delegation every possible help to find companies which can provide solutions to Delhi's problem of municipal solid waste in a holistic manner. Mayor Arti Mehra was the head of the MCD delegation which comprised of Subhash Arya, leader of house, Vijender Gupta, chairman of standing committee, J K Sharma, leader of opposition, P R Sawhney, chairman of education committee, Mahendra Nagpal, chairman of works committee and Farhad Suri, ex-mayor and senior councillor Ajit Singh from the deliberative wing. The delegation was accompanied by Ravideep Singh Chahar, additional deputy commissioner and OSD to the mayor. Source:The Times Of India September3rd,2008.
