The waste-to-fertiliser project at Gaymukh will be the largest of its kind in the state of Maharashtra, marking a significant milestone for Thane city. Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik emphasized the importance of integrating two smaller projects in the area to create a larger, more effective facility. This initiative will involve processing approximately 300 to 400 tons of wet waste on a three-acre site, turning it into high-quality fertiliser using scientific methods.

Minister Sarnaik, along with Thane Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao and other senior officials, inspected four key development projects in the Thane-Ghodbander Road area on Friday morning. The developments include the waste-to-fertiliser project, beautification of Nagla Bandar creek, the redevelopment of Borivade grounds, and the development of a park on reserved land at Anand Nagar. These projects are being funded through a significant financial allocation approved by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during his tenure as Chief Minister.
