I. Details of Industry and ETP/CETP:  Total number of industries/industrial estates: A total of 179 industries are present within 500 meter of the catchment areas of the Six identified river.  Total existing CETPs : 1 CETP of 500 KLD at Budhjungnagar Industrial Estate, Agartala.

v. Solid waste management

 Total MSW generation (TPD): 337.3 TPD Municipal Solid Wastes are being generated from the Municipal areas of the catchment areas of six identified river stretches.  Existing facilities : A 250 TPD capacity Solid Waste Processing Plant (composting) have already been set up at Devendra Chandra Nagar which is operational. This Plant is also catering the processing of solid waste from nearby 4 smaller urban local bodies, i.e., Bishalgarh Municipal Council, Mohanpur Municipal Council, Ranirbazar Municipal Council & Jirania Nagar Panchayat. These 4 urban local bodies are located within 10-15 Kms. from the periphery of Agartala city and it is economical for them to transport their solid waste on daily basis to the 250 TPD SWM plant at Agartala rather than to operate and maintain their individual solid waste processing plant.  In addition, door to door waste collection, source segregation and processing etc are being done by other ULBs.

vi. Bio-medical/Hazardous/Plastic waste generation

 Total Bio-medical/Hazardous/Plastic waste generation: The generation of Bio- medical/Hazardous/Plastic waste in the catchment areas of the six identified river stretches are as follows: Type of Waste Waste Generated

Bio medical Waste 0.283 TPD

Hazardous Waste Nil

Plastic Waste 2.5 TPD

 Total no. of hospital and bio-medical waste generation/treatment A total of 11 hospitals are present in the catchment areas of the six identified river stretches.  Total units generating hazardous waste/treatment facility: Nil
