NAHARLAGUN, 16 Mar: Four waste collection vehicles were dedicated especially for the daily markets here by Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) Mayor Tame Phassang on Wednesday.
The mayor said, “Market areas are one of the busiest junctions of the city, especially daily markets, where tons of waste are coming out every day and the same creates an unhygienic environment. So, to keep the markets clean, we have decided to assign two tractors round the clock each in Naharlagun and Itanagar daily markets.”
Elaborating on the new concept, he said, “Trolley of the tractors will be kept in designated areas of the market, and vendors just have to drop the waste in them. As soon as the trolley gets full, the team of IMC will come and tow away the trolley. The process will continue round the clock in the daytime.”
The mayor further appealed to the vendors not to throw garbage in unspecified locations.
