Implementation of law can be achieved if residents and authorities work in tandem

The North Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor Adesh Gupta on Tuesday announced setting up of ward level ‘Safai Nigrani Samitis’ to help implement solid waste management by-laws.

A white paper on civic issues, including pollution, sewage, water supply and garbage, has highlighted that a large number of the capital’s woes are a result of multiplicity of authorities. The report by NGO Praja Foundation comes a year after the keenly-fought elections of the three municipal corporations.

Over 1,100 challans have been issued for solid waste and garbage burning, of which 573 were in the corporation’s central zone, fetching over Rs 63 lakh as fines.
