💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has emphasized the importance of waste segregation at source for the environment, particularly in the National Capital Region (NCR), and has ordered the NCR states to report on their compliance with the 2016 Solid Waste Management Rules. The court expressed concern over the impact of non-compliance on smart city projects and the environment, and requested a comprehensive plan for waste management from the states.
