AGARTALA: To mark World Environment Day, a special environmental awareness program was organized by the organization ‘Glow Green’ in front of the historic Ujjayanta Palace. The event brought together key civic leaders, including Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) Mayor Dipak Majumder, Corporator Ratna Datta, and South Zone Chairman Pradip Chandra.
During the event, Glow Green officials unveiled an ambitious roadmap aimed at transforming Agartala into a cleaner, eco-friendly city through modern technology. The organization announced plans to introduce a cutting-edge GPS/GPRS-based real-time monitoring system for urban waste management. Under this initiative, unauthorized garbage accumulations across city pockets will be automatically detected via satellite tracking, enabling sanitation crews to clear the waste within a target window of just 10 minutes.
Furthermore, to combat the growing menace of plastic pollution, specialized smart dustbins will be deployed at major commercial and high-traffic locations specifically for plastic bottles and non-biodegradable waste.
Commending the tech-driven layout, Mayor Dipak Majumder emphasized that bridging the gap between civic participation and technological innovation is essential to achieving sustainable urban development and ensuring a pollution-free future for the capital.
