Kohima, February 26 (MExN): MLA & Chairman of Nagaland Pollution Control Board (NPCB) Amenba Yaden on February 24 visited the upcoming Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility site at Lerie, Kohima.
Recently, Kohima had been facing many waste disposal problems, as the Kohima Municipal Council could not find a suitable waste dumping site. Finding suitable municipal wastes dumping place is becoming a major issue not only in Kohima, but also in other cities/towns, stated a press note received here. To mitigate this problem, a Solid Waste Management Facility is coming up at Lerie, Kohima started in the year 2012 under the State Investment Program Management and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU).
This project, with a 50 tonnes per day capacity, if completed, would segregate the municipal wastes and the compostable components will be used for making manure while the rest will be disposed by sanitary land filling. The project is expected to be commissioned by the end of the year.
