The Supreme Court bench said what is happening in Delhi? We are surprised to read this affidavit, which states that it will take time till December 2027 to clean it. The court said that this pile of garbage will remain till 2027. What is this?
3 thousand tons of untreated solid waste
The court warned of passing some strict orders like instructions to stop construction activities in the capital to pay attention to this issue. While hearing a case related to the implementation of Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 in Delhi, the court found that 3,000 tonnes of untreated solid waste remains in Delhi every day. The bench asked where does it go?
Do not force for strict instructions
The MCD lawyer said that the garbage is taken to landfill sites in Bhalswa and Ghazipur. The Supreme Court said that this cannot continue in Delhi. Senior advocate Aparajita Singh, who is assisting the court as amicus curiae, said that the problem is that the Delhi government and the Center are not working in harmony on this issue. On this, the court asked the Center to pay attention to this issue. She said that we will sit them together. The court said, do not force us to issue some strict instructions. Such issues have to be dealt with strictly.
