Waste segregation awareness drive on

PNS|Vijayawada

A week-long public awareness programme by the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) on the segregation of wet, dry and other wastes began here on Monday. The programme will go on up to December 18. As a part of the programme, the VMC officials and staff created awareness among the public across all the divisions in the city.

The day-wise schedule was released on educating the public to segregate kitchen waste, dry waste and hazardous waste as the citizens are not segregating the waste, though the VMC authorities provided separate colour dustbins to them.

Meanwhile, Zonal Commissioner (Circle -1) KT Sudhakar participated in the awareness campaign in the 51st Division. CMOH Dr Ratnavali, AMOH Dr Ikbal, Sanitary Supervisors R Obeswara Rao, Sivarama Prasad and others were present.
