DIMAPUR: In compliance with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026 and in observance of Swachhata Hi Seva, the Chumoukedima Town Council (CTC) organised an awareness programme through a flash mob performance by students of Chumoukedima Dance & Fit Studio at three locations-Saturday Market, Jack & Jill Shopping Mall, and CT Square-on September 26.
According to DIPR report, the flash mob aimed to draw citizens’ attention to the importance of four way segregation of solid waste and to promote greater public awareness on responsible waste management.
Speaking on the initiative, T. Lemlila Sangtam, ADC & Executive Officer, CTC, said the activity was intended to make solid waste management a civic minded and accountability driven public responsibility. She emphasised that effective implementation of the SWM Rules requires active participation and cooperation of every citizen. She further highlighted the importance of collective responsibility in keeping the town clean and stressed adherence to the “Polluter Pays” principle, under which those responsible for generating pollution and waste are expected to bear the responsibility for its management.
The awareness programme sought to encourage citizens to move beyond merely disposing of waste and instead adopt responsible practices such as segregating waste at source, reducing waste generation and ensuring proper disposal. The Chumoukedima Town Council called upon all citizens, commercial establishments, institutions and stakeholders to extend cooperation towards building a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Chumoukedima.
