Nagaland to ban septic tank waste dumping in rivers; mandates access for sanitation vehicles
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Kohima: The Nagaland Assembly panel and leaders of various organisations in the state capital on Tuesday agreed to ban the release of septic tank waste into rivers and nullahs, and mandate colonies to provide access routes for cesspool and sanitation vehicles in the Kohima Municipal Council’s jurisdiction.

This initiative aims to ensure proper disposal of waste and protect the city’s waterways from contamination.

The resolutions were taken at a consultative meeting convened by the committee in Kohima, which brought together municipal authorities, civil organisations and colony representatives.

MLA and chairman of the panel Achumbemo Kikon said the measures were crucial to stop unchecked pollution of rivers and to enable waste collection in Kohima’s congested colonies.

“From now on, no family or resident will be allowed to discharge septic tank waste into rivers. At the same time, colonies will ensure proper passage and turning space for cesspool vehicles so that waste can be collected effectively,” he said.

The meeting also resolved to reactivate the faecal sludge treatment plant at Meriema village and the recycling and segregation centre at Lerie Colony, both of which were constructed with heavy government investment but remain non-functional.

Expressing concern over downstream pollution, Kikon highlighted how plastic and bottle waste, especially from Kohima, flows into the Doyang River in Wokha district, impacting Doyang town and adjoining areas.

“Unless Kohima keeps itself clean, we end up exporting our waste to other towns and rivers,” he cautioned.
