Rajasthan govt amends rules to treat waste in housing units
The state government has amended rules to treat and dispose municipal waste in group housing schemes and high-rise buildings. During project approval, the developers of group housing schemes and high-rise buildings in the state will have to submit a plan meant for the treatment and disposal of municipal waste. After amendments, the provision has also been incorporated in township policy and building by-laws. According to the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules 2016, enacted by the Union ministry of environment, forests & climate change (MoEF&CC), all group housing schemes and buildings of more than 5,000sqm in area are liable to ensure segregation of biodegradable waste at source.
