ITANAGAR, Feb 6: In order to keep vigil on quality and speedy construction of Solid Waste Management Plant, Mayor, Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) Tame Phassang along with Corporators and Commissioner IMC inspected the ongoing construction of SWM Plant and site for garage at Karsingsa today.
Speaking to the media, Mayor informed that, team IMC is extending its full effort to complete the project in the stipulated time frame. "Once completed the Solid Waste Management Plant will cater to Naharlagun, Doimukh, Banderdewa, and other adjoining areas," he added while stating that without Solid Waste Management Plant, the effort to keep the city clean will be incomplete.
This project is not going to benefit any individual but the entire capital, even the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has questioned the IMC on waste management. So, I appeal to the District Administration and Department of Forest also to confer equal support for the early completion of the project. More than the IMC, denizens are facing huge problems due to the non-availability of the Solid Waste Management plant, asserted the Mayor.
He further informed that besides SWMP at Karsingsa, another similar project for the Itanagar region has been proposed at Chimpu, two kilometers far from the Highway.  Phassang also disclosed that, for smooth and proper maintenance of IMC vehicles, they have surveyed a location to construct IMC garage at Karsingsa.
Responding to questions, Mayor informed that due to COVID cases, few drivers of garbage pick-up trucks are under isolation due to which vehicles haven't visited many locations. However, he informed that IMC is managing drivers and the work will resume soon. He reiterated that cleanliness in the city will only be possible if the denizens lend equal support by not throwing garbage in open areas, rivers, streams, and public places.
