Nimapara: The authorities of Nimapara Notified Area Council (NAC) have decided to set up two solid waste treatment plants to improve garbage disposal system in the locality.
As per the decision, the NAC authorities will establish the waste treatment plants near Patapur and Talaandia Squares with an expenditure of around Rs 1 crore, sources said.
