GMC Overhauls Garbage Collection System in Guwahati

The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) is revamping its door-to-door garbage collection. Instead of using ward committees and NGOs, GMC will now divide the city into 18 divisions, each managed by a private company. A tender has been issued to invite bids from these companies. This new system aims to improve efficiency, addressing the shortcomings of previous methods. The revised scheme will group 60 wards into 18 packages, each managed by private operators, and is expected to be operational before Durga Puja.
