She further added that this mission entails segregation of waste and its 100% door-to-door collection and thereafter its management including safe disposal in scientifically designed landfills.
It was also revealed that the ULBs had to prepare city sanitation action plans (CSAPs) and city solid waste action plans (CSWAPs) for submitting them to MOHUA in the form of a state action plan for their funding.
The meeting took appraisal of the measures made for scientific disposal of Solid Waste Management including material recovery facilities, transfer stations, waste processing facilities, remediation of legacy waste dumpsites, and scientific landfilling in different municipalities of J&K.
