Summary:
The Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh, has made segregation of solid waste mandatory from October 12. Though the MC had notified the solid waste bylaws earlier, making segregation of waste mandatory got delayed owing to various reasons. The NGT had fixed a deadline for the MC to implement the solid waste management rules. Waste collectors do not have vehicles for segregation of waste. The penalty provision has also been made for waste collectors in case they are found wanting in performing their duties..
