In conjunction with the drain construction, a boundary wall will also be erected around the landfill, as stated by officials.
This drain and boundary wall will be built by the corporation in front of the Bandhwari plant and along the village's government road to ensure that toxic water from the garbage during the rainy season does not flow towards the village and road.
