Silchar to get CCTV network and biogas plant in 2026
Silchar is planning big changes for 2026.
They will put up 77 CCTV cameras all over the city to help with things like garbage dumping and traffic rules.
This will help keep the city cleaner and safer.
They are also planning to build a special plant that turns waste into clean energy, which will help reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills.
The city makes about 100 tonnes of waste every day, so this new plant will be a big help.
The plan also includes better waste collection and recycling.
The city is asking everyone to work together to make these changes successful.
There are also plans to make parks and streets nicer and cleaner.
Silchar will install 77 CCTV cameras across the city to monitor illegal activities and improve waste management.
A compost-based biogas plant is planned to reduce landfill dependency and convert organic waste into clean energy.
The city generates 100 tonnes of waste daily, with efforts underway to improve door-to-door collection and waste segregation.
Public cooperation is emphasized for the success of these initiatives, alongside beautification projects and mechanized cleaning.
The initiatives are part of a broader 2026 civic roadmap aimed at enhancing urban cleanliness, order, and sustainability.
