AALO, Jun 24: Sports & Youth Affairs, Legislative Affairs & SJETA Minister Kento Jini, who along with West Siang Deputy Commissioner Mindo Loyi inspected the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) Centre at Kabu (Rokken), has called for its hassle-free and uninterrupted operation.
The garbage management system of Aalo township has been facing several challenges for many years. Under the initiative and intervention of Minister Jini, the MRF Centre has been made operational for proper waste management. The dry waste generated from Aalo township is being transported through Patum Bridge and Pessing area under Jomlo circle of Siang district. The dry waste is properly managed, processed, with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) prescribed by the UD Department being strictly followed.
However, the transportation of dry waste has been affected due to objections from some residents of the Pessing area, who have been preventing UD Dept’s vehicles from passing through the area.
During the inspection, the Minister intervened and directed the UD Dept, Aalo, to resume the collection and transportation of dry waste from June 25 for smooth and regular functioning of the MRF Centre. He also directed the Power Department, Aalo to ensure an adequate power supply to the MRF Centre for uninterrupted operation.
Further, the Minister urged the Siang Deputy Commissioner to issue necessary administrative directions to prevent any obstruction to UD vehicles carrying dry waste. He stated that all necessary SOPs are being followed by the department and appealed to the people of Pessing area not to create any hindrance or disturbance, particularly to the vehicles engaged in waste management activities.
Besides the West Siang DC, the Minister was accompanied by Hali Welly, EE UD; officials from the Power & UD Depts; and Lige Lollen, district president BJP. (DIPRO)
