Silchar Launches Rs 21 Crore Waste Management Project
Imagine a big pile of old trash that's been sitting around for a long time.
Silchar is fixing that!
They're starting a project to clean up the trash and make the area better.
They are building a special plant to sort through the trash and recycle what they can.
They are also using special machines to separate different types of waste.
Plastics will go to cement factories, some waste will fill low areas, and the organic waste will become compost for plants.
This project will make the city cleaner and healthier!
Silchar launched a Rs 21 crore waste management project.
The project aims to transform the Meherpur dumping ground.
The project includes a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) plant and legacy waste remediation.
Modern trommel machines are being used for waste segregation.
The project is part of the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0.
