Delhi residents beware: Segregate waste or shell out fines upto Rs 100,000
For
all we know, mixed waste cannot be treated. Therefore segregate waste at the
right source, or be ready to pay fine!
The
three Delhi
Municipal Corporations have come up with an action plan for waste
segregation, maintaining the order that any housing societies, market
associations, etc, should segregate waste scientifically, failing which a fine
between Rs 10,000 to Rs 100,000 will be imposed.
This
drive, however, will begin after proper guidelines and awareness have been
issued to the public. Senior officials emphasized on the importance of
implementing waste
management in a proper and planned manner. The plan will then be rolled
out after 6 months across the capital.
Keeping
in mind the financial status of the East and North corporation, senior
officials plans to proceed the action by using funds from the Swachh Bharat
Mission (SBM)
"We
had received Rs 100 crore under the Swachh Bharat Mission and this will be used
for carrying out work related to waste segregation. We are in the process of
floating a tender for procurement of fixed compactors which will help in
segregating the waste," a senior East corporation told TOI. Read
