Likewise, FMC has 19 dumper vehicles out of which only 10 are on the road, one truck out of three is also not in use, four hydraulic tractor trolleys out of 15 are out of order. These statistics speak of the indifferent attitude of FMC bosses towards city sanitation. Presently, the FMC disposes over 80 per cent of waste at stray places. At least 500 tones is not lifted at all by the FMC for want of machinery, manpower and resources. The conditions at waste disposal sites are pathetic.
Garbage is littered all over, with rag pickers making it even worse.
The FMC has 30 to 40 per cent capacity to lift waste because of shortage of vehicles and other resources. Consequently, vehicles dump their load alongside major city roads. It is said that the FMC landfill site is about 11 km from here. But its functionaries intentionally do not dump the municipal waste there to save petrol. Many FMC vehicles are not operative since long due to time consuming procedures for procurement of spareparts and inefficiency of its workshops.
