NDMC has identified 87 new sites for dumbing small debris from construction activities

The North Delhi Municipal Corporation has identified 87 new sites for dumping small amount of debris generated from construction activities. A senior official of the BJP-ruled NDMC said 70 earlier designated spots will no longer be available. "All residents in the jurisdiction of NDMC are requested to dump debris generated from any construction activity, at the nearest local designated dumping site. It is also clarified that these designated sites are meant for small amount of debris," the civic body said. "If debris is in bulk size then that should be directly taken to construction and demolition waste processing plant situated at Jahangirpuri," it said. The list of the new dumping sites is available on the NDMC website, officials said. The accumulation of debris on public places is prohibited under the Delhi Municipal Act and is a punishable offence. No debris are allowed to be dumped at any garbage collection sites or 'dhalaos' and any other public place.
