Solid waste management

The Vijayawada Municipal Commissioner G.S. Panda Das, has put focus on solid waste management after his return from a short foreign tour. He inspected the dumping yard at Singhnagar, checked how many trips were being made by lorries and whether waste was being segregated – dry and wet. He also wanted recycling started so that not much of waste was required to be dumped and large open area will not be required.
