The Jugsalai Municipal Council is set to tackle the issue of garbage accumulation by constructing a waste processing plant near the Mahakaleshwar Shiv cremation ground on ME School Road, with an estimated budget of Rs 1 crore 20 lakh, demonstrating the council’s commitment to cleanliness and environmental protection.
JAMSHEDPUR – The Jugsalai Municipal Council is poised to address the growing concern of waste accumulation by constructing a garbage processing plant in the vicinity of the Mahakaleshwar Shiv cremation ground on ME School Road, with an allocated budget of Rs 1 crore 20 lakh, reflecting the council’s dedication to maintaining cleanliness and safeguarding the environment.
The local community’s demand for a garbage disposal or processing plant has spurred this initiative, with construction work set to commence imminently.
The decision to establish the processing plant comes in response to the challenges posed by the accumulation of garbage near the Mahakaleshwar Shiv cremation ground, adversely affecting the quality of life for nearby residents.
Additionally, sawdust generated during the processing will find utility in land leveling activities.
With the commencement of the processing plant, waste will be utilized to produce various goods, including fertilizer, thereby transforming waste into valuable resources.
Currently, garbage from the 22 wards of Jugsalai is collected door-to-door by 11 vehicles and deposited near the cremation ground.
Once operational, the responsibility of managing the plant will be entrusted to an agency.
Special Officer M Banara highlights that the construction of the garbage processing plant aligns with the council’s commitment to cleanliness and environmental protection.
