Jammu | Nov 29
Expressing concern over improper waste management, the environment committee of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has asked the local municipal corporation to identify garbage dumping sites and take measures to beautify the city.
The committee, which inspected various areas in the city yesterday, also issued instructions to the JMC to improve drainage and sanitation facilities in the city.
The committee, headed by MLA Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Sofi, also visited the Government Medical College Hospital and Gandhi Nagar Hospital and took stock of the facilities available for patients in these hospitals.
The committee inspected the solid waste management and bio-medical waste arrangements of GMC and inspected the incinerated plant, which was functioning properly.
The committee directed GMC authorities to upgrade the existing sewage treatment system, which does not cater to the present needs. The plant should be upgraded as per enhanced requirements.
The committee maintained that while preparing new projects pertaining to treatment plants, the PCB and Environment departments should be involved. |
