The Chennai Corporation officials have confirmed that Madras Waste Exchange Portal would open in the month of February and people who want to buy or sell waste through this online portal might have to wait till February.
It is worth mentioning here that this Madras Waste Exchange Portal is India’s first online waste exchange portal. In December 2019, a pilot project was launched that is well known to us.
The official belonging to the Smart City Project had brought to light that Covid-19 infection has been taking up most resources of the corporation and hence operation and maintenance of the website and mobile app has become difficult. He added that not losing the momentum is very important and the website is still live even now. In the past 2 months, orders were not processed due to Covid -19 infection
As of now, new registrations would not be accepted and those who have got registered earlier would be able to login. Truth is that they would not be allowed to place orders and they have been asked to contact the buyers or sellers directly. It was later mentioned by an officer that a team has been put in place and work has been started to ready the platform.
