The initiative, however, drew harsh criticism from opposition parties, who claimed that the city is already clean and rag pickers will not get plastic anywhere in the city to get free food. The initiative would fail soon,” said Janmajay Mishra, Opposition Leader in AMC.Nivedita Pandey, a local, said, “The initiative is good. AMC will open a first-of-its-kind Garbage Cafe within a few days under which poor people and rag pickers will get free food in exchange for one kilogram of plastic, while breakfast will be provided if half a kilogram of plastic is brought to the cafe.”Our door-to-door waste collection process is already in place. The initiative will become successful. Now, when they give plastic garbage to the government, they will get food in return. We have named this Garbage Cafe,” said Ambikapur Mayor Ajay Tirkey. Our city will become cleaner after this. In the budget, we have allocated Rs 6 lakh for the cafe,” he added.. We have come up with a new provision that if someone brings one kilogram of plastic, he or she will get food for free and on half a kilogram of plastic, they will get breakfast free. The scheme of Dr Raman Singh is already there which provides Rs 1 per kg grain. Under the schemes, it is proposed that rag picker would get a free meal for one kilogram of plastic and breakfast for half-kilogram plastic. A man gets Rs 20 in exchange for one kilogram of plastic.””Ragpickers used to give garbage to private people in exchange for money.”The solid waste management of the Ambikapur Municipal Corporation was successful.”Ambikapur Municipal Corporation stood at the second spot in the country in cleanliness.
