Guwahati, May 19: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Tuesday that effective urban waste management is one of the significant yet less discussed achievements of his government. He claimed that under the Swachh Bharat Mission, the state has completed 65% of waste disposal work in urban areas.
In a post on the social media platform X, the Chief Minister stated that this initiative is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a clean India.
Sarma mentioned that motivated by the Prime Minister’s call for a clean India, they have achieved 65% waste disposal and are progressing towards the goal of 100% disposal.
The Chief Minister also shared details about the state’s waste management infrastructure and ongoing sanitation initiatives in Assam’s urban areas.
According to the data shared by Sarma, the state has identified 54 old waste treatment plants in urban centers, of which 23 are already operational and in service.
Officials noted that this old waste disposal initiative aims to scientifically clear heaps of waste accumulated over the years in municipal areas and convert them into reusable or environmentally friendly materials through bio-mining and waste processing techniques.
The state government is focusing on improving urban sanitation, waste segregation, and scientific disposal systems as part of its broader efforts to strengthen civic infrastructure in cities and towns.
The Assam government has repeatedly emphasized that proper waste management and sanitation are essential components of sustainable urban development and public health.
