Waste management programme launched in Dimapur

DIMAPUR: Parliamentary secretary for municipal affairs R Tohanba launched a waste management project in Dimapur on Wednesday.
The project on integrated solid waste management, production of bio-fuels with organic farming, skill development, and waste and drinking water management is being implemented by Newwaves Biofuels India Pvt Ltd, a Hyderabad-based company. This is the first such project in the country.
The project has been planned under the Make in India programme for the development of the people in the northeast and will be implemented in the PPP model within 24 months, after land is procured from the government of Nagaland on lease.
Launching the project, Tohanba said it is necessary to have solid waste management practices in Nagaland as many urban local bodies are facing problems.
