Previous opinions EXPRESSEDby me proposed few viable solutions and nobody wanted to listen<\/p>\n

WE NEEED TO ISOLATE STENCH AND UNPLEASEANT SIGHT BY BALING THE GARBAGE AT THE SOURCE <\/strong><\/p>\n

Government should import baling machines ,following the same procedure used doi g war time .No tenders for emergency weapon supply .We are fighting a war in different way .We need to be firm and decisive .<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pls see the attached video<\/p>\n

My proposal has been to obtain above baling technology and assemble the units in our local workshops and propose to install few in many garbage dumping locations.<\/p>\n

Other proposal was to enclose the baled garbage units into a concrete box or a cylinder\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0( like the ones used for sewage tanks and use them as Sea \/Land Reclamation or Canal Bank protection etc .<\/p>\n

Our problem is that Megapolis, WPC and CMC \u00a0is still struggling with few investors who are trying find finances for the project and keep delaying the implementation .As highlighted in one of my previous opinion snippets, Sri Lankan Bureaucracy and Politicians have no vision. So called experts are worse than garbage who have no clue how to implement .<\/p>\n

State should spend some money ( may be at the cost of two limousines for\u00a0 MP\u2019 would suffice )\u00a0 import few such baling units ,install in the main garbage dumping grounds in Meethotamulle and Karadiyana and start baling the garbage .Then private investors should collect the garbage at a premium and burn to generate energy .There may be companies who will import the units on the condition that Government gives a guarantee to pay the financing loan to buy the units<\/p>\n

Dr Sarath Obeysekera<\/p>\n

If the state allows a team of private investors to implement such program \u00a0( may be as per \u00a0the new Special Provisions Act \u00a0a\u00a0 under Super Minster to implement such program ,I am sure that the Garbage Problem will be eliminated for good<\/p>\n
