JAMMU: In a unique initiative towards better waste management the Directorate of Tourism Jammu in collaboration with Jammu Municipal Corporation and technical guidance of State Pollution Control Board worked on a pilot project of composting of degradable food waste during Amarnath Yatra at Yatri Niwas. In its initial foray in line with Swachhta Abhiyan, the Directorate started this small project of composting of degradable food waste which not just helped in waste management, at source but generated approximately 5 quintals of high quality organic manure.
This organic manure was distributed to the farmers at Yatri Niwas in a function held to mark the SWACHHTA Hi Sewa campaign. Director Tourism Smita Sethi, Dy. Director Tourism Subah Mehta, Anuradha of State Pollution Control Board & Sh. H.L. Khajuria (Sanitary Inspector) of JMC alongwith other officers and officials were present on the occasion.
