terms of collection, transportation and scientific process of solid waste at dumping site. As per the field observation and surveys in and around the city of Imphal, there was not much improvement in solid waste management especially in the market areas (Ima Keithel Bazaar) and the municipal wastes were still found to be thrown waste into the open drains and open spaces. The present scenario of solid waste management in the Imphal city is highly inadequate at post projects situation (Fig. 3, 4, 5, and 6). The dumping of solid waste into open drains of entire city choke and blocks the drains during the rainy season, causing water overflows on the entire city roads.

Fig. 6: Solid Waste dumping near Cremation Ground in Ward No.8. Picture Credit by Authors, 2013 The implementation of JnNURM projects in Imphal was very poor. As per field investigation and observation in around city has reveal that outcome of SWM project is very poor in terms of collection, transportation and processing dumping site at Lamdeng Khunou Imphal west, Manipur. The NGOs has involved for collection, transportation of solid waste from various wards of Imphal city. Imphal municipal council has not utilized the equipments under SWM projects property. Most of the equipments are still laying unused (Fig. 10, 11, 12 and 13). The main reasons of the unused of the equipments are limited man power and lack of proper plan for solid waste. Door to door collection of solid waste has been started by NGOs since 2007 with an agreement between municipality and NGOs (Fig. 7). Unfortunately collection is insufficiently and still practice of dumping garbage at Lamphelpat Ground (Fig. 6). Working efficiently is inadequate for solid waste management by Imphal Municipal Council. The common issue within Imphal city is dumping of garbage into drains (Fig. 8). As per notified by Ministry of Environment and Forest in September, 2000 the following seven directions were to be followed by municipalities (Table 2). There is a lack of coordination between state government and municipality to carry out the solid waste management sector. In the above discussion, reveals that responsible and duties toward solid waste management in Imphal city by municipality is totally absence. Sl. Rule and Duties of Municipalities No Prohibit littering on the streets by ensuring storage of 1 waste at source in two bins: one for biodegradable waste and another for recycle material Primary collection of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste from the doorsteps at pre-informed 2 time on a day-to day basis using containerized tricycles/handcart/pick-up vans.

V. CONCLUSION Under JnNURM project for solid waste management in Imphal city is still very poor in terms performance. The collection of waste solid waste and transportation are inefficient by various NGOs. Imphal Municipal Council does not follow rule and guidance of Solid Waste Management Rule, 2000. There is poor performance the duties by Imphal Municipal Council due lack of proper administrative structure. Works culture of different organization for solid waste management is inappropriate. Therefore, it is suggested for improvement of solid waste management by encouraging Imphal Municipal Council to set up proper administrative structure in order to build up Capacity Building (CB).
