The bench said the tribunal's earlier directions on prevention of the current waste being dumped at the Bhalswa dump yard are to be complied with and the segregated inert waste has to be utilised.

The tribunal was hearing a petition claiming the proposed WTE project violated environmental norms as stipulated in the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.바카라 웹사이트

According to the petition, MCD was unable to take adequate action for compliance with SWM Rules, 2016 for scientific handling of the waste generated in the city, and fresh waste was still being dumped at the Bhalswa dump site
