The Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) inaugurated a 100 KLD Septage Treatment Plant at Upper Chimpu under the AMRUT 1.0 scheme. The inauguration ceremony was led by Balo Raja, Minister of Urban Affairs, Land Management & Civil Aviation, who attended as the Chief Guest. The event also saw the presence of Techi Kaso, MLA of the 13th Itanagar Assembly Constituency.

The project is poised to address Itanagar’s ongoing septage management challenges.
