KARSINGSA, Aug 7: In compliance with the National Green Tribunal Act, a team of Itanagar Municipal Corporation(IMC) led by Mayor Tame Phassang today visited  and finalised the site for the new Solid Waste Management Plant at Karsingsa.
The Mayor was accompanied by Deputy Mayor Biri Basang, Corporators of various Wards, Assistant Commissioner of IMC - Datum Gadi, Asst Engineer IMC- Nabam Soni, EE-IMC Tadar Tarang and land donor  T Tadar along with other officials.
Speaking to the media, Phassang informed that the visit is the second in a row as they have already surveyed the areas to see the feasibility for such an important project. Solid waste management is one of the major challenges of the IMC and so this time we have finalized the said location for the proposed Solid Waste Management Plant in compliance with the National Green Tribunal Act, the Mayor said.
He also assured that no haphazard dumping will be allowed in the proposed Solid Waste Management Plant, as it will be a modern scientific plant with technology where the solid waste will be recycled and reproduced as various useful items. 
"The nearby residents need not worry about the destruction of the environment or any other harmful effects because the distance of the plant from public areas is as per the NGT guidelines. Moreover, the plant will not only cater support in solving the solid waste issues but it will generate employment for youths of the locality," he asserted.
A team of experts from New Delhi will soon visit the location after which work for the construction of the SWM  plant will start in full swing.
“Feasibility for the construction of SWM Plant is good," said  Asst. Engineer-IMC Nabam Soni. The location, distance, gradient, and other requirements are corresponding with the guidelines of the NGT. We can finalise the site for the proposed project, he added.
The plant will cater to areas like Naharlagun, Nirjuli, Banderdewa, Karsingsa and even Doimukh and Yupia will be covered under the same plant. For Itanagar, there will be another SWM plant.
