Dimapur, Nov. 18 (EMN): Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT) has taken serious note of the non-disposal of garbage from the different garbage dumps in Mokokchung town.
MTLT has raised the issue following complain from different quarters about the stink and non-disposal of garbage from the different garbage dumps in and around Mokokchung town. The MTLT put into record that there are eighteen wards in Mokokchung town, while the Mokokchung Municipal Council (MMC) had distributed six Pick-up trucks to eight wards under the Swaach Bharat Mission.
While observing that garbage disposal was at its worst, MTLT was of the opinion that since the six wards of Mokokchung town are managing the garbage disposal on their own, the Mokokchung Municipal Council (MMC) should be lightened of their workload in clearing the dumps in the remaining twelve wards.
Towards this end, an emergency executive meeting of the MTLT was held on November 15 where it was strongly resolved to tackle up the issue. Likewise, the MTLT met the ADC Mokokchung Mangpai Phom, who is also in-charge of MMC, and discussed the issue threadbare on November 16. Apart from the non-disposal of garbage by the MMC, the MTLT asked about the condition of the cess-pool vehicle under the supervision of MMC.
MMC administrator, Mangpai Phom, after listening to the genuine grievances of the Mokokchung public represented by the MTLT, assured to look into the issue at the earliest.
MTLT hoped that MMC would do the needful and keep the town neat and clean, lest it affects the health of the people.
