Shimla, December 19
The High Court has directed all the District Commissioners to file status report(s) explaining therein that whether they have reviewed the performance of all
local bodies within their district with respect to segregation, processing, treatment and disposal of waste in terms of Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
The court further directed them to inform the court about the steps taken by them for door-to-door collection of segregated waste.
The court also sought
status reports from the Central and state governments regarding implementation of Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice L Narayana Swamy and Justice Jyotsna Rewal Dua passed these orders on a petition filed by Suleman on the issue of improper and unscientific dumping of solid/toxic/sewage waste at Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh industrial area.
While passing these directions the court listed the matter for further hearing on January 8.
