Cuttack’s garbage disposal is in a mess

There are a lot of roadblocks in the implementation of better segregation and disposal of garbage in Cuttack. The Cuttack Municipal Corporation is yet to complete the tender process for execution process for execution of Integrated Municipal Waste Management Project though two years have passed since the project was kicked off.

The civic body had planned to enforce Solid Waste Management Bye-Laws-2017,along with execution of the project, to improve sanitation condition in the city. But failure of tender process put a halt to the entire  process.

The bye-laws empower the civic body to collect user fee from every waste generator for house to house collection of garbage.
