Innovative waste based road plan in the city
Odisha Governmenrt is pondering over a proposal of Central Road Research Institute to use sanitary landfills in road construction. The proposed initiative would supposedly work in favor of environment, reducing the size of dump yards. Initially, BMC would experiment the method by using the landfills to construct the embankment of some roads lying in the outskirts of the city. Followed by its success, other roads within the city and other places would be ventured. Authorities are eagerly waiting to work in collaboration with the pollution control board. The National Highways Authority of India had constructed a 2km road at Ghazipur in Delhi last September by using this method.
