During the discussion, the EDTPO urged the concerned department to address the issue with utmost urgency and allocate a suitable dumping site for the EDTC at the earliest.
It cautioned that failure to resolve the matter promptly could leave residents of East Dimapur Town with no option but to resort to indiscriminate waste disposal along roadsides, posing significant health and sanitation risks.
The EDTC further stated that it would not be held responsible for any mismanagement of waste disposal by the public from April 1 onward.
