Itanagar: Waste management will be priority

The newly posted commissioner of Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) Cheechung Chukhu has said garbage management will be his priority. In a recent media interaction, he said innovative ideas are needed to address the growing problem of garbage management, reports Arunachal24.in.

“The clean and green capital is our motto. The IMC is developing software through which house listing of all the buildings of the capital complex – including offices – will be done for proper garbage disposal. Also by using this software people can pay garbage collection fees online,” he said.

Highlighting the need for charging garbage collection fees from citizens, the Commissioner said funds provided by the state government is not enough. Therefore we are going to collect garbage collection fees and making the system more organized so that people also get closer and also do some homework before disposing their garbage. Currently, there is barely any door to door waste collection in Itanagar.
