SOLID WASTE MGMT RULES
-
NEW DELHI: The government has unveiled the draft Solid Waste Management Rules 2024, aiming to tackle air pollution, improve waste management, and address legacy waste. Released on December 9, the draft proposes strict penalties for open burning of agricultural and horticultural waste and empowers sanitation workers to impose fines for unsegregated waste. Set to come into effect on October 1, 2025, the rules call for local bodies to ensure no instances of agricultural waste burning. Violators will face heavy fines, with the draft inviting objections and suggestions from stakeholders. This move comes after the Centre recently doubled fines for farmers burning crop residue to address severe air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region during winter months.
