District Collectors have been asked to identify government land for setting up dumping yards in urban local bodies where acquisition of private land has run into legal hurdles to give thrust to solid waste management projects.

Earlier government had given permission to 29 Urban Local Bodies for acquiring land from private persons for setting up dumping yards. But 10 of them which faced problems requested the Government for alternative arrangements.

Chief Minister K. Rosaiah held a meeting with Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister Anam Ramnarayan Reddy and officials on Monday to review the status of solid waste management to discuss the steps to be taken to reduce delays in setting up SWM projects.
