Complying with the guidelines of National Green Tribunal (NGT) and solid waste management rules, a total of 40 garbage compactors are being set-up in Ludhiana to make the city garbage free.
In the first phase, 22 portable compactor stations will be set-up, while five will be set up in the second phase and 13 will be established by the Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT), reports the Hindustan Times.
The main objective of these compactors is to transfer waste directly from vehicle to vehicle and free the city of secondary points. Efforts are being made by LIT to complete the construction of compactors by December to help improve the city’s ranking in Swachh Survekshan 2021.
