AGARTALA, June 5 (TIWN): To celebrate ‘World Environment Day’ for the year 2016, AMC started drive to clean each and every corners of Agartala city since Saturday, whereas during the whole year no initiatives are taken to keep Agartala city clean.

Apart from this dirty water, non-refined smokes and other anti-environmental activities hit the satte. 

Whereas Agartala city is aimed convert into a SMART City in future, but it has remained as one of the most ‘Garbage-dumping-ground.

 Under Manik Sarkar’s regime another example of Tripura’s Golden Era is the Municipal Council’s cleanliness management skill across the Agartala city. The whole city is hit with dirty smells, garbage beside the road and resulting into unhygienic condition.

Reportedly, the Municipal Corporation has not provided any kind of containers and dustbins for dumping garbage in most of the parts in the city, so that no municipal workers are need to be deployed in that area.

Such negligence of the Municipal corporation is prominent especially urban areas.

Maximum town areas are left without dustbin and people are using the drains as the alternative of dustbin, resulting  into overflowing drains.

However, hardly in every places there are drains also. Few areas got drains after years and years of requests and placing 100 of demand letters to the Municipal corporation.

 With no provision of dustbins, has hit the much hyped Clean India Campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Lok Sabha constituency. Most of the localities, particularly congested areas, wear a filthy look with garbage scattered all over, but the authorities have no concern about all these.

Due to lack of dustbins, heaps of garbage can be seen lying on roadsides, which leaves a bad impression about the administrative over there.

Municipal has violated all the instructions given by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). For example CPCB had waned every Municipal   Council to look after the matters as :

1)Untreated sewage shall not be disposed into the river, or at any other recipient body : Howrah river, Gomati river, Manu river and many lakes across the state are directly connected by untreated sewages. 

 2) The sewerage system must be capable to cover the entire local / urban areas and to ensure complete treatment of sewage generated : One Tenth part of the state subdivision is not covered by drain yet. Hardly in urban bodies drain yet made.

   3) The local bodies shall seek consent under Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974: State is now under scrolling under polluted water and department is busy to fill up the ponds as fast as possible.

So with the blessing of Municipal Corporation in the city has become a dumping ground, violating all the terms & conditions under Swachh Bharat Mission.

Apart from this govt. is too much friendly with pollution and nature spoiling activities. Moreover, noise pollution, de-forestation, rubber plantation are so much dominating the state’s environment.
