Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has asked district collectors to implement the strategy prepared for effective management of construction and demolition waste in the jurisdictions of urban local bodies (ULBs). Housing & Urban Development (H&UD) secretary G Mathi Vathanan has issued instructions to the collectors in this regard.
The H&UD department has planned to engage ‘Mission Shakti’ and transgender groups for decentralised management of the construction and demolition waste in the ULBs.
The members of Mission Shakti groups / transgender groups will collect the waste from the generators and transport the same to processing facility. Decentralised facilities with up to five tonne per day (TPD) processing capacity will be established and managed in partnership with the Mission Shakti and transgender groups.
