New Delhi: The Centre, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Assam government signed a $81 million loan agreement on Friday. This is the first tranche of $200-million financing facility for Assam's urban development programme to bring clean, piped water to residents of Guwahati and upgrade wastewater treatment and urban transport, a Finance Ministry release said.
The urban transport component includes development of a 10-km rapid transit corridor for buses in Guwahati.
Waste management
In Dibrugarh, solid waste management and drainage infrastructure will also be improved. Solid waste collection coverage will increase to more than 80 per cent of households and will include recycling.
Drainage will be improved by removing waste from waterways and by widening and rebuilding flood relief culverts, bridges and sluice gates.
