BHUBANESWAR: The Orissa State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) is yet to carry out an inventory to take stock of the electronic waste generated in government offices.

Dengue has begun to spread its tentacles to more parts of the State with at least 77 positive cases reported from several districts.

BHUBANESWAR: Drop boxes just like dustbins will be installed at different locations in all the 30 districts of the state to spread awareness about e-waste collection.

BHUBANESWAR: The state government has swung into damage control mode after Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) recently pointed out gross irregularities in land allotment in the city.

The Orissa State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) is going to form a committee to create an inventory of e-wastes following frequent failure to collect these wastes in the state.

The city is all set to wear a greener look with the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation indentifying at least six medians on major roads for a massive plantation drive.

The state government has decided to rope in Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT) University, Ahmedabad, to prepare a fresh detailed project report (DPR) of Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) project in the capital aimed at improving the public transport system.

The CEPT will be the second agency to prepare DPR for the project. Earlier the DPR was prepared by RITES, a Central government enterprise under Railways. But the state government disengaged RITES after the French financial institution Agence Francaise de Development (AFD), which will fund the project, sought a revised DPR. The government announced the BRTS project in 2010, which is a dedicated bus corridor like railways.

The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has introduced a solar power driven rickshaw for collection of solid waste from across the city.

The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to introduce a solar-fuelled vehicle to lift garbage from the doorstep. At present, waste is being manually lifted.

Soon you will be able to stop worrying about where to relieve yourself while you're out in the capital.
