All these are made possible through the procurement and construction of integrated solid waste

by the new administration.
The Present Administration has direct intervention in Design and Survey of selected
Soil Erosion and Flood Mitigation Measures (Engineering/Biological) including the State
Counterpart to World Bank Project (NEWMAP).
