To fasten the process of cleaning of sewers and better dumping facility of silt, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has picked up a 7.5-acre land in Narela to be used as silt dumping site. Although the area falls under the jurisdiction of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, the site will be managed by the east Delhi municipal authority.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has finalised a Rs 558-crore deal to treat solid waste at the Mulund dumping ground through biomining and free up 60-acre space in the city. This space will be used for public amenities. It is a five-year deal during which 7,000 million-tonne dump at the site will be segregated and treated.

Following a fire in Deonar dumping ground in 2016, the Mumbai High Court had banned new constructions and asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to devise a debris management plan. The BMC has now asked the developers to submit a debris dumping plan before the authority for seeking No-Objection Certificate (NOC) for construction. The developers will be required to identify a dumping site before starting the construction which will be inspected by the BMC and mentioned in the Intimation of Disapproval Certificate (IOD). Builders who generate small quantities of debris are exempted from this new rule.

After a year-long ban on real estate construction in Greater Mumbai, the Supreme Court (SC) has finally allowed construction of new projects for the next six months. The order has come as a big relief for the developers in the city as projects worth Rs 2,000 crore were stuck since March 2016, owing to the order.

The NGT had on October 24 directed the Noida Authority not to dump municipal solid waste or any other waste at the site in Sector 138-A. It had said they should use the site at Sector 123, Noida as a temporary site for dumping of waste, and this should be done strictly following the provisions of the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules. The NGT had also directed the Uttar Pradesh government and the Noida Authority to start construction of waste-to-energy plant at the designated site within six months.
