Dated Aizawl, the 4th May, 2026 : PHED Minister Prof. Lalnilawma launches FAINA PUITU Application today at the E-in-C Office Meeting Hall, PHED Office.

FAINA PUITU App enables users to track their sanitation truck, check waste collection schedule, avail door-to-door pickup,sell recyclable garbage like cardboard, metal, plastic and e-waste, read rules and regulations on waste management, and file a complaint. 

The application can be downloaded from IOS and Android free of charge during the period of 2026 and for a fee of ₹10 per month from 2027 onwards. The application has been utilised in the Aibawk RD Block effectively while it has not been used in the Aizawl Municipality area yet.

Minister Prof. Lalnilawma expressed his pleasure regarding the launch of the FAINA PUITU application, and stated that Mizoram is keeping pace with global progress, and this application is an excellent way to save both time and energy.He further noted that waste can be utilized effectively, highlighting that researchers often refer to this concept as "Waste to Wealth".
