Municipal Solid Waste Delhi

The top court observed that in the national capital, 3,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste generated remains untreated every day.

The Supreme Court on Monday termed as "shocking" that 3,000 tonnes of 11,000 tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated in Delhi every day is not processed.

The National Green Tribunal has rapped the Delhi government and the civic bodies over their "blame game" and shifting the responsibility for reduction and recycling of the municipal solid waste which led to the recent Ghazipur landfill collapse.

As Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party tried to corner the BJP-led municipal corporation and the centre over the two deaths in the Ghazipur landfill collapse on Friday, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal moved swiftly today to ban dumping of any more solid waste at this location.

The National Green Tribunal today directed the Delhi government and civic bodies here to inform it about the total quantity of municipal solid waste generated in the national capital daily.

"Very poor" solid waste management, including dumping of dung, en route to the Vaishno Devi shrine and in Jammu and Katra towns has led the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to ask top officials of the shrine board and civic bodies to appear before it next month.

Voicing concern over dumping of garbage on the streets due to strike by sanitation workers of municipal corporations, National Green Tribunal today asked the civic bodies to remove the solid waste within two days and directed the Delhi government to extend its support to them.

Irked at non-compliance of its order on burning of waste, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) today imposed a cost of Rs 50,000 on the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) for indiscriminate dumping and burning of municipal solid waste in East Delhi.

Voicing concern over the issue of disposal of municipal solid waste in the capital, the National Green Tribunal has directed the Delhi government to complete the waste-to-energy plant at Ghazipur by June this year.
