JAIPUR
JMC act is in violation of SC’s direction as well as Solid Waste Handling Rules
The Jaipur Municipal Corporation(JMC) is violating the directions of the Supreme Court and the Solid Waste Handling Rules in a bid to bag the top slot in the Swachh Survekshan-2018.
The civic body is burning garbage to keep the city spick and span.
However, the waste cannot be burnt under the Ministry of Environment and Forest’s Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules-2000. The Supreme Court has come out with an order prohibiting burning of garbage.
A smog in Delhi in the recent past had scaled up pollution levels and led to a slew of health hazards.Garbage burning increases pollution manifold. But the unfazed JMC employees, instead of stopping people from burning garbage, are doing it themselves.
To improve the city’s rank in the clean survey, the municipal administration has carried out a cleanliness campaign in the city. During this campaign, garbage is collected from roads and empty plots and burnt. According to the rules, garbage should be collected and transported to the landfill site. But this is not being done because of the door-to-door waste collection project.
Waste collection is being undertaken by Pune-based company BVG India Ltd in all the 91 wards of the city. BVG collects garbage from houses. Employees of the company do not pick garbage collected on the roads.
The municipal corporation has put sweepers for cleaning the streets. But there is no arrangement for garbage collection. JMC employees burn the garbage on the road because of the fear of senior officials. Early morning, garbage can be seen burning at different places of the city.
According to Solid Waste Handling Rules,garbage should be segregated and disposed of. Stray animals should not come to the landfill site and garbage depots. But there is no arrangement for segregation of garbage in JMC.
There are about 1,800 tonnes of garbage waste every day in the city. The municipal corporation is able to process only 25 percent of this.
