Supreme Court Stressed waste segregation and sought Compliance Affidavits from NCR states
- Case Name: MC Mehta v. Union of India
- Judge(s): Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan
The Supreme Court directed NCR states to file affidavits on compliance with Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, including waste management plans with timelines.
The Court ordered the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to submit a report on the environmental and health impact of waste-to-energy projects.
The court stressed waste segregation at the source, noting low compliance in MCD, Gurugram, and Faridabad. It warned that non-compliance in Delhi could lead to construction restrictions.
The Court directed that Affidavits from states and the CPCB report must be submitted by the end of March.
