It should be mentioned that, though a decision to hand over 3 lakh sqm land of Khajod to SDB has been taken by the state government, the measurement and other procedures on ground are yet to take place. Moreover, existing waste disposal site at Khajod has to be relocated because execution of SDB project kicks off. SDB is willing to start the work and complete the project in three years once modalities are finalized by the government. So far, the government has taken just in-principle decision.
