Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma heralds a significant environmental achievement, declaring Tinsukia as the inaugural district in the North East to eradicate legacy waste through bio-mining. This milestone aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mission LiFE, emphasizing sustainable waste management and environmental conservation efforts nationwide.
Under this initiative, over 1.53 lakh metric tons of waste have been successfully treated in Tinsukia, liberating more than 30 acres of land previously occupied by legacy waste. This transformative process not only addresses environmental concerns but also opens up opportunities for developmental projects to enhance the region’s infrastructure and overall well-being.
CM Sarma’s announcement underscores Assam’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its proactive approach to waste management. By embracing innovative solutions like bio-mining, Tinsukia sets a precedent for other districts in the North East to follow, paving the way for cleaner and greener communities across the region.
The eradication of legacy waste in Tinsukia marks a significant step towards realizing the vision of a cleaner and healthier environment for all residents. It exemplifies the collaborative efforts of the government, local authorities, and community members in driving positive change and fostering sustainable development in Assam and beyond.
