J&K: Plastic waste management initiative transforms Rajouri's border villages

Waste management units in Rajouri help improve cleanliness and generate employment

Rajouri: In a significant step towards achieving a plastic-free environment and effective waste management, the District Administration of Rajouri has launched multiple initiatives in border and remote blocks, including Lamberi and Nowshera. The initiatives, undertaken under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), have led to improvements in cleanliness and employment generation for local communities.

The government has installed fully functional plastic waste management units across these blocks to process plastic waste efficiently. Additionally, segregation sheds have been set up in every panchayat to facilitate the systematic sorting of waste. Swachhta Doots, local workers employed on a salary basis, are responsible for overseeing waste segregation and disposal processes.
