Dimapur | May 6
In a major relief for residents in and around DMC dumping site, the DMC is digging three huge pits for fresh wastes, erecting fencing walls around the entire dumping site besides constructing two roads and two drains under Burma Camp Colony Dimapur.
The move to set up solid waste management is also under process. Enough man power and various machineries have been put in place to finish the ongoing works in the area at the earliest.
This reporter visited the site on Friday and found that fencing walls at a height of around 18 ft around the entire dumping site is in progress. This wall would block view of the piling garbage while stench smell emanating from it would also be done away with to some extent. The garbage has been accumulating for the last 20 years.
The compressed garbage for the last 20 years does not produce stench smell as that of fresh garbage. In order to take care of the fresh garbage smell, the DMC is digging three huge pits which can be used for at least 6 months before it is filled up.
The DMC is also constructing two roads at a length of 1300 ft at Sunrise Colony and Jasokie Colony while two drains at the same length of the two roads are in progress at United North Block and Naga Colony.
