Summary:
Effective steps are needed to stop this as people in the surrounding areas have been suffering with foul smell emanating from the dumpyard, the bench said. The Court will monitor the cleansing of Jawahar Nagar dumpyard and also encroachment of lakes and ponds in the city and other parts of the State on a weekly basis, the bench noted. Previously, the GHMC used to transport about 5,000 MT of garbage and it has identified three alternative locations to shift the dumpyard. On earlier occasion, the bench questioned the officials about their action plan when a series of reports were published in newspapers on Jawahar Nagar dumpyard. The bench then directed the GHMC commissioner to appear before it to explain about the steps taken on the issue..
