Mismanagement of waste can cause water contamination, health issues, and other several environmental issues. This initiative by CDA to make a waste disposal site is indeed a great step towards cleanliness drive in the twin cities. This initiative will help in coping with many problems like:

  • Health Issues: If we’ll get a clean environment even through this initiative, we will be protected from many diseases that are water borne or a creation of the pollution.
