HUDA and DTCP seek more time on waste plant
The two agencies Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and the department of town and country planning (DTCP) have missed the National Green Tribunal deadline to submit a plan to dispose and process construction waste, in spite of the fact that most of construction waste is being generated in the areas governed by them.
The Municipal Corporation Gurgaon (MCG) has already washed its hands off in this problem claiming that there isn’t much construction taking place in its jurisdiction, whereas both HUDA and DTCP have asked for two more weeks from the green court.
A senior HUDA official said “It is a misconception that construction and demolition waste gets generated only during new construction. The fact is that this waste gets generated when people renovate their houses. And most renovation work takes place old city, which is governed by MCG. We can help MCG is setting up waste treatment facility, but they can’t run away from their responsibility.”
Another official declaim that the Municipal Corporation Act clearly specifies, that setting up a slaughterhouse, solid waste and construction waste plant is responsibility of municipality.
