Urban Local Bodies Minister Kavita Jain on Saturday directed Additional Chief
Secretary, Town and Country Planning to revise building biology by making
legally mandatory the disposal of biodegradable waste generated by certain
buildings, on an institutional or personal level. These include residential
buildings, commercial buildings, institutional buildings, hotels, motels,
restaurants, banquet halls and marriage palaces, group housing societies, clubs
and community centres and old age homes. The
Minister said that according to the Haryana Municipal Solid Waste (Management
and Handling) Rules, 2000, framed by the Government in compliance of judgment
of the Supreme Court, municipalities were bound to dispose of waste generated
in cities and towns in a scientific manner. "However, most municipalities
in the State did not have adequate land for waste disposal and it was being
dumped at landfill sites or dumping grounds. As a result, the local bodies are
facing shortage of land and the pressure to dispose of waste is increasing by
the day," she said.
