NGT Highlights Waste Management Issues

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has raised significant concerns regarding solid waste and sewage management practices in Gujarat and Odisha, urging both states to intensify their environmental protection measures. The NGT flagged issues such as improper waste disposal, inadequate sewage treatment facilities, and the slow progress in implementing waste management reforms mandated under various environmental guidelines. It emphasized that the current practices pose a severe threat to public health and the environment, impacting local water bodies and soil quality. The Tribunal urged immediate action to address these challenges, including enhanced monitoring systems, setting up proper waste treatment infrastructure, and enforcing strict compliance with the established guidelines. Both states have been asked to submit comprehensive reports detailing their plans and timelines to tackle these issues. The NGT's intervention underscores the urgent need for effective waste management policies to prevent further ecological degradation in these regions.
