Jamshedpur’s Ghorabandha Shyamu Tola Khair Bani villagers unanimously decide against the proposed garbage plant construction in their village during a gram sabha.

JAMSHEDPUR – A gram sabha was reconvened under the leadership of the village head in Ghorabandha Shyamu Tola Khair Bani village of Jamshedpur.

During the meeting, it was unanimously decided that the villagers would not allow the proposed garbage plant to be constructed in their area.

Prior to the meeting, villagers had celebrated the Hero festival with great enthusiasm.

Both men and women from the village participated in the meeting held post-festival.

They collectively decided against the garbage plant that the district administration had planned to construct.
