“Swachh Sawari” an initiative to create awareness among general public

A panel set up by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the municipal corporation to fully implement the segregation of waste collected from door to door in Chandigarh by October 31, reports The Hindustan Times.

The panel has also directed the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) to submit a compliance report on on whether the civic body has done so or not by early November.

The MC had been directed to ensure 100% waste segregation in the city by June 2020, which could not be implemented amid the pandemic.
