suffering from the narrowness of open defecation . Considering the city Dehradun , where there is a huge amount of sewage disposal in Rispana , Suswa and Bindal River , it is impossible to declare the state Open Defecation free . Many of the hilly and remote areas of the state are still facing the problem of open defecation . Tribes of Munshyari , Jaunsar are still practicing open defecation due to loopholes in Swachh Bharat Abhiyan . Hence , the suspicion on reports of Uttarakhand Government is obvious . Dehradun ’ s second consecutive failure of 2017 in Swachh Bharat indexing is also the result of open dumping practices in the region . The open Dump yard of Sahatradhara remained the center of discussion in major media and newspaper of 2016 . The alternative green and sustainable solid waste management dumping station to be opened in Premnagar by JNNURM which shows a way out of pungent smell of which the localities in Sahastradhara road are suffering since a decade . But with a daily disposal of 350 metric tonnes approx . the city will still be suffering from solid waste disposal problems . Most of the solid waste in the city is collected by Nagar Nigam , Dehradun is disposed to the local dustbins by the municipality ’ s door to door waste collection facilities but , in outskirts of the main city mainly areas which are not under Nagar Nigam ’ s area of interest those localities find no possible way to dispose of the solid wastes . Hence the rivers like Song , Rispana , and Bindal are the alternative of dustbins . These methods are not only choking the life line of the main city but also marks an important question on the lifestyle to which well-educated citizens are heading to . NGOs in the city are making their efforts to revive the condition of rivers as far as solid waste management . But , most of NGOs making effort are far less than registered in the government files . Inactive NGOs are suspects of the breeding hub for corrupt practices in politics and administration . Hence , it is the need of the present that citizens of Dehradun must get Smart in sense of solid waste disposal management . The knowledge of self-segregation of organic and inorganic waste and its method of disposal is must . With millions spent nationally on advertising Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative , expenditure on advancing the surveying method for regional open defecation must be increased to make technological advancements .
