Patna Municipal Corporation Approves Waste Management and Infrastructure Projects

The Patna Municipal Corporation approved two agencies to manage door-to-door garbage collection, waste segregation, transportation, and street cleaning across three municipal circles. The corporation expects these changes to save over Rs 25 crore annually. Additionally, the committee approved Rs 68 lakh for a livelihood and training center for the transgender community and provided 2,000 sqft of land to Dostana Safar for a menstrual cup manufacturing unit.

The approvals involve retaining approximately 9,600 sanitation workers while improving operational efficiency and accountability in waste management. The projects also include funding for local infrastructure improvements, such as renovating a pond and constructing a community hall.
