NGT Addressing Waste Dumping Issues Across India

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is actively addressing waste management issues in various regions. In Dehradun, a committee has been formed to inspect waste disposal compliance along the Mandakini River, following concerns raised by an RTI application and a petition. Chennai's conservancy workers and NIFT collaborated to promote solid waste management through recycled material fashion shows. NGT has directed authorities in Noida to take action against waste dumping along the Hindon River, emphasizing the need to address pollution caused by industries and improper waste disposal practices. In Himachal Pradesh, the NGT reprimanded authorities for failing to address waste dumping in Koksar, highlighting the urgency to implement solid waste management rules effectively and remediate the issue in the frozen region, with the CPCB committing to taking steps within four weeks.
