Why should it be a dream? If the citizens hold the feet of Himanta Sarma to the foire, it will happen or boot him out in the next election. "Hobo Diyok"has to stop somewhere. Let the tax-payers and the voters decide.

This is apart from the Rs 1,700-crore Municipal Solid Waste Management Project for the city under the Jawharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.
Talking to newsmen in the city, Sarma said that the contract of the detailed project report (DPR) for the MSWMP had already been given to Tahal, an Israel-based company, and global tender for the project would be floated after the submission of the DPR by Tahal. The project will also include sewerage, water supply and drainage in the city.
According to the minister, the project envisages introduction of new technology in treating solid waste and involvement of community and private sector investment to make the project economically viable. Sarma added that the site for waste treatment and landfilling measuring 180 bighas earmarked by the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) at Garchuk, near Paschim Gaon in the city, had already been approved by the CPHEEO, technical appraisal agency of the Central Government. According to him, the project envisages collection and transportation of waste, their treatment and disposal of the product through market interventions. In case of compositing, the resultant product will be sold off to potential buyers like nearby tea gardens and other users. In case of waste to energy concept, the electricity to be generated will be used by dedicated users, Sarma said, and added: The project has been designed for a total of 20 years with introduction of an additional 300-tonne-per-day-capacity plant in the 11th year.
A Government of India agency has almost been given the responsibility to examine the feasibility of the project for metro rail and buses so as to ease the traffic snarl in Guwahati. According to Sarma, the final decision in this regard will be taken in the next Cabinet meeting.
Sarma further said that the State Government would float the tender for the Ropeway project over the Brahmaputra tomorrow. The Swiss Ropeway Corporation and RITES Ltd, Gurgaon, were the consultancy firms engaged to examine feasibility of the project, the report of which has already been submitted, Sarma said.
It may be mentioned here that the 1,820-metre-long and Rs 29.87-crore ropeway, an alternative mode of transportation between Guwahati and North Guwahati, will have the passenger capacity of 250 people an hour.
According to Sarma, it will be the longest river ropeway in India, and will have many attractive features like vertical open lifts at both ends of the terminal, attractive viewpoints etc.
