Petitioner said that MC has been misleading the court by falsely claiming compliance to solid waste mgmt rules
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana high court (HC) on Tuesday told the Chandigarh municipal corporation to clear the garbage dump at Dadumajra by May.
An HC bench, while hearing a clutch of petitions seeking removal of garbage from the dumping site, made it clear that if not cleared by then, the official would face contempt proceedings. The court also expressed serious concerns over the MC's handling of waste management.
The city produces approximately 450-500 metric tonnes of solid waste daily.
The bioremediation of the second garbage mountain (8 lakh MT) is on and is likely to be complete anytime now. But a third mountain, holding about 1.25 lakh metric tonnes (MT) of garbage, has emerged amid this.
