discharge water in Palar River. The present condition of Storm Water Drainage is that
it also carried the sludge and sewage water, which ultimately carried to the Palar
River. This has created enormous environmental problems. Also there are certain
length of roads which is unlined and needs to convert them in lined drains to use the
Rain Water Harvesting in an effective way.
2. Drainage Proposals
The existing storm water drains are not up to mark as the pucca drains are open and
the kutch drains are cover 65 % of the road length. Items including main roads
having puuca and kutcha open drains are converting to pucca Closed drain is
estimated to Rs. 194 lacs. The major construction is required on the following drains
and the rest of the money will be spent on up-gradation of household drainage.

10.1.4 Solid Waste Management
1. Needs:
The household waste is dumped at various community collection points spread over
entire town. Though municipality is doing its best to manage the solid waste yet it is
not up to the mark to manage the solid waste from collection to disposal and lot
has to be done for it.
As of now, compost yard is used as a dumping yard only. As per Municipal Solid
Waste rules, every town should be maintained compost yard and Land fill facility.
But individual land fill facility requires high capital cost; instead of this consultant
propose the regional land fill facilities.
2. Solid Waste Management Proposals
Based on the situation assessment and consultations with stakeholders, following
urgent improvement needs has been identified and proposed.
