Patna: Patna Municipal Corporation has announced that the upcoming conference at the assembly premises will be organized as a zero waste event. This initiative aligns with the corporation’s ongoing efforts to improve performance in the Swachh Survekshan. The 85th All India Presiding Officers Conference, scheduled to begin on January 20, will follow sustainable waste management practices.

The event will witness the participation of Speakers, Deputy Speakers, and Chairpersons of Legislative Councils from across the country.
