Women protest solid waste management project in populated areas with ‘broom march’ in Alipurduar

Starting early Thursday morning, the community members united and marched, holding brooms to express their dissent. They argued that although it is a public place, the chosen site for the solid waste management project is in a densely populated area. The residents stated they would have no objections if the land were used for a school or an ICDS center.

The women warned that if the authorities do not relocate the project, they will escalate their protest into a larger movement.
