Make temporary arrangements for collection of waste in Jowai Town

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMarch 16, 2023

The Meghalaya High Court on Thursday asked the Meghalaya Govt and the Jowai Municipal Board to prepare a more accurate plan of action for collection of wet and dry garbage from the various localities in Jowai, West Jaintia Hills District.

The Court passed the direction during the hearing of the PIL filed by the Synjuk Ki Waheh Chnong Jowai.

According to the High Court, there appears to be a huge gap in the plan which the Jowai Municipality claims to have put in place and in the implementation thereof as complained of by the petitioners.

“Since both the State and the Jowai Municipality are eager to help out the citizens and spare no effort in such regard, it is hoped that a more accurate and appropriate plan of action will be prepared to collect wet and dry garbage from the various localities in Jowai till such time that the permanent arrangement in such regard is made,” it said.

The next hearing will be held on March 21.
