Verma flagged that only 62 of 82 gram panchayats have completed the work for community toilets and instructed officials to select land in the remaining villages to speed up construction under Swachh Bharat Mission Phase 2 (Rural).
"The biogas plants and plastic waste management unit must be made operational without delay. Infrastructure is not enough, these systems must start functioning to serve the purpose they were created for.
The district panchayat raj officer must hold discussions with village heads and ensure this is done," he said.
The DM also reviewed key components under the
mission, including resource recovery centres, compost pits, soak pits, silt catchers, and filter chambers.
District panchayat raj officer (DPRO) Virendra Singh said each of the 82 gram panchayats in the district will soon have a resource recovery centre (RRC). "RRCs in 42 villages are ready, and work is underway in 18 others. For the remaining, land is being finalised," Singh said.
