Twarit Mahanagar: Segregate waste at household level, penalise offenders: SC

Suggesting segregation of solid waste at the household level, the Supreme court on Monday said there should be a penal provision for dealing with those refusing to do so.

Noting that 3,600 tonnes of solid waste is generated every day in south Delhi alone, a bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta said: "Make it the responsibility of the householder to segregate the waste at the household level. Responsibility has to be fixed."
