Tripura to get 50 km roads made with plastic waste in Agartala

With the decision of the central government to phase out single-use plastic items by this year, Tripura government has decided to build around 50 km of road stretch in the city using plastic waste in a phased manner.

“Taking a cue from the success of 1km road stretch in the city made by plastic waste and the decision to phase out single-use plastic, our PWD department has proposed to make all the major roads with non-degradable waste, largely single-use plastic and the cabinet has given the go-ahead,” Sushanta Chowdhury informed.
