Noting that generation of e-waste is increasing at a
"staggering" pace and there is a "yawning gap" between its
generation and capacity to deal with it, a parliamentary panel Thursday urged
the Centre and state authorities to take immediate remedial measures. A
parliamentary standing committee on science and technology and environment and
forest also urged the Environment Ministry to bring necessary amendments in
e-waste rules by incorporating best practices and incentive schemes prevailing
internationally.
