Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta officially inaugurated a new Material Recovery Facility (MRF) unit in Vittal on Friday, marking a significant stride in modernizing waste management within the Vittal Town Panchayat limits. This facility, equipped with a 3 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) capacity specifically for dry waste collection, promises to introduce a highly scientific system for waste processing and disposal in the region.
The construction of this crucial MRF unit received approximately 60.10 lakh rupees in grants, channeled through the Central Government's ambitious Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and various other centrally sponsored schemes. Addressing the gathering, Capt. Chowta underscored the unit's importance in curbing environmental pollution by ensuring scientific waste disposal. He elaborated that implementing such an advanced system for dry waste management would not only create valuable local employment opportunities but also stimulate economic resource mobilization for the community. The MP further stated that this initiative would significantly accelerate the progress of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Mission in rural landscapes.
Immediately following the inauguration, MP Chowta engaged in the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, a special campaign organized to commemorate 25 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dedicated public service. As part of this observance, he joined party workers in planting and carefully watering saplings at Palika, Booth No. 5 of Vittal Mahashakti Kendra, falling under the BJP Puttur Rural Mandal.
A host of local leaders and officials attended the twin events. Among them were Vittal Town Panchayat President Karunakara, Vice President Sangeetha Panemajalu, Standing Committee Chairman Ashok Kumar Shetty, and Agricultural Credit Cooperative Society President Narsappa Poojary. Prominent BJP leaders present included Devappa Poojary, Sanjay Prabhu, Prasanna Darbe, Nitish Kumar Shanthivana, Hariprasad Yadav, Vidyadhara Jain, Srikrishna Vittal, Preetham Poonja, Uday Alangar, and Harish C.H.
