State honours city’s model initiatives in waste management, water conservation and sustainability
Waste, including biomedical and solid waste, allegedly dumped illegally in Tirunelveli district in December 2024 and later shifted to the KEIL facility, has remained under temporary covering for nearly one-and-a-half years
It would be implemented by the end of June, completely doing away with the present practice of employees handling used empty liquor bottles, the Minister said
Establishment of the facility is not likely to cut down the waste arriving at Jawahar Nagar site, but it could reduce the burden on the latter, by speeding up the processing.
A resolution, passed by the UDF, blamed the hospital management for not taking necessary measures in ensuring proper waste management as per the directives issued by the Kerala State Pollution Control Board
The Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML), responsible for Solid Waste Management in the city, has launched a new mobile app ‘DClutter’ through which you can book for such a visit by waste collectors
Move aimed at tackling the mounting garbage crisis in the hill station
The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, disregard federalism and embody a technocratic vision of environmental governance, insufficiently attentive to ground realities; as framed, they risk producing blurred accountability, unproductive compliance work, and paper reporting rather than cleaner cities and villages
Nearly 15 lakh tonnes of construction and demolition waste may have accumulated in the area over the years, so much that even under ideal conditions, clearing it could take more than a year
