The Government of Kerela is prepared to alter the 1994 Kerala Municipal Act with strict requirements to ensure the 2016 Solid Waste Management Rules are implemented. It is intended to include subsections for enforcement and penalty provisions that correspond with the 2016 regulations in a specific clause for solid waste management. The local self-government agency has reportedly finished drafting the amendment, which will be brought before the state legislature soon.
