The Deputy Commissioner of Bathinda has cancelled a 15-year-old plan to develop a solid waste landfill on 36.81 acres of land in Mandi Khurd village. Following directives from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the decision was made because several residential projects and schools have come up near the site since the land was acquired in 2011. The DC recommended using the land for alternative public projects such as agro-industries, a biotechnology park, or a solar energy plant to generate employment and revenue. https://www.punjabitribuneonline.com/news/punjab/bathinda-dc-cancels-mandi-khurd-landfill-project-after-15-years-of-land-acquisition/ #Creator program
