NGT stresses scientific separation of garbage

Rajamahendravaram: National Green Tribunal (NGT) State-level committee chairman Justice B Seshasayana Reddy has underlined the need to separate the garbage scientifically to avoid other problems due to its separation unscientifically.

He along with corporation commissioner Sumit Kumar inspected the compost yard at MSR layout and said compost yards are very important. Mainly cities, towns and corporations as well as municipalities should shift the garbage carefully to the compost yards.

He asked the commissioner how they are transporting the garbage to the compost yard and precautionary measures the corporation is taking. It is the duty of the corporation to take care of the health of the people.

Commissioner Sumit Kumar said that the corporation is separating wet and dry garbage and transporting it to the compost yard separately and for that necessary sanitation staff were appointed.

The corporation is giving top priority for maintaining sanitation properly in the city, he added. Corporation health officer Dr MVR Murthi, superintending engineer Om Prakash and sanitary supervisor Srinivas and others were present.
