I'm surprised Mundwa is chosen as a garbage dumping site as it is close to the city and adjacent to Kalyani Nagar and Wanawori. i guess now you can be close to the IT parks, airports and the garbage dump as well.

Mundhwa And Digraswadi, Finally, Two New Garbage Dump Options
Municipal Corporation proposes to cap Urali Devachi site and move on.
Mundhwa and Digraswadi could be come the new garbage dumping sites for Pune city. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has shortlisted them as alternative sites to replace Urali Devachi, which it hopes to cap in a one year's time.
The upcoming area of Mundhwa, chosen for many future urban infrastructure projects, is around 6 km from the city while Digraswadi is in Shirur taluka, about 30 km away.
Following an agitation by villagers of Urali Devachi, Principal Secretary of Environment Valsa Nair had asked the PMC to cap the site and suggest, within 15 days, an alternative.
The PMC submitted the plan to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) on Monday. "The MPCB will have to ensure that the plan is implemented in the timeframe," Nair said.
MPCB regional officer P K Mirashe said the old site of 43 hectares will be capped. However, the site at Phursungi adjacent to the old site will be in use.
"Besides the Mundhwa and Digraswadi sites, 13 more locations in the district are being assessed as garbage treatment sites," said Mirashe.
According to the plan submitted, the PMC will take precautionary measures while caping he site. The area will get a proper effluent treatment system and be sprayed with chemicals to ensure an insect-free environment. The plan also mentions tackling of frequent fires by parking two fire engines at the site. An RCC water tank and water tankers will be deployed daily, said Mirashe.
