Bengaluru, July 18, 2025 (UNI) Firstsource Solutions Limited, a leading provider of specialist domain-led Business Process Services and part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Pastdue Credit Solutions, a prominent UK-based debt collection firm.

Chronic garbage dumps rise by 80% in Mohali after closure of Ph 8-B dumping ground
Mohali: The number of chronic garbage dumps in Mohali has surged by nearly 80% following the closure of the Phase 8-B dumping ground, with the total number of persistent waste accumulation points rising from 11 to 53 across the city. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The closure of the dumping site came after a Punjab and Haryana high court order in Nov 2024, which banned the use of the Phase 8-B ground for further dumping due to environmental concerns. Although the municipal corporation (MC) had previously claimed a reduction in chronic garbage dumps to 11 by March 2025, the situation has significantly worsened in the months following the ban. Taking serious note of the development, MC commissioner Parminder Pal Singh said, "We have issued a show-cause notice to the sanitation contractor and are awaiting his response. If found unsatisfactory, we will proceed to blacklist the contractor and terminate the contract." To manage the growing waste crisis, the civic body has set up small, decentralised garbage processing units at Shahimajra, Jagatpura, and another location. The commissioner assured that these units would not emit foul odour, and the operators have been warned of contract termination in case of complaints. In a bid to improve waste segregation and processing, the MC recently approved new tenders for handling garbage from Refuse Management Collection (RMC) points on a revenue-sharing basis. Under the revised system, the private processing enterprise will earn profits by converting waste into biogas or fuel, with the processed waste now being sent to an Ambala-based facility. The transition to the Ambala plant comes as the Lalru-based facility's tender period nears its end. Owing to delays in new tender clearance by the local government, the MC had to float fresh tenders, which were awarded to the Ambala unit. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials explained that the updated solid waste management approach involves transporting waste from RMC points to the processor's facility, where it is handled using modern biomethanation and extrusion technology for wet and dry waste respectively. Despite these efforts, the growing number of unmanaged garbage sites has triggered public concern over sanitation and environmental health in Mohali, prompting calls for faster and more effective action.
