The National Green Tribunal (NGT) monitoring committee urged the Chandigarh administration to upgrade the machinery of the JayPee plant for achieving 100 percent solid waste management.
The NGT team urged the concerned officials to upgrade the machinery without waiting for the outcomes of the arbitration proceedings and court cases related to the plant, reports The Indian Express.
The team, headed by committee chairman Justice Pritam Pal, visited the two sections of the plant, including the legacy waste ) and garbage processing plant, Dadumajra, in Sector 38.
In June this year, MC and JayPee plant management engaged in legal battle when the civic body took possession of JayPee plant in its hands. Within days, a local court had stayed the MC’s decision.
