Garbage collection revamp hits hurdle as only six bidders accept work orders
India's garbage‑collection overhaul has stalled because only six firms accepted the issued work orders. The low uptake jeopardizes the timetable for upgrading waste‑handling services across multiple municipalities, supporting broader environmental goals under a central sanitation scheme. Officials may extend the deadline or alter contract terms to draw more bidders, aiming to keep the modernization program on track.
