MCC asked to enforce penalties for waste segregation non-compliance
Mysuru: Chairman of State Committee of National Green Tribunal Justice Subhash B. Adi directed the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to implement measures for the segregation of three types of waste — wet waste, dry waste, and biomedical waste — at the household level. Citizens who fail to comply should face penalties and this rule must be strictly enforced.
He was chairing a meeting on Solid Waste Management at Sri Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar Hall of the MCC last evening where officials from various local institutions, stakeholders, and entrepreneurs had gathered.
“Waste should be separated and handed over to Pourakarmikas at the source. Continuous efforts must be made to educate citizens on this process and penalties should be imposed if segregation is not followed,” Justice Adi said.
The MCC has to collect dry waste and no other entities should be permitted to do so. Dry waste, such as reusable materials like plastic cups from events, holds significant value and can be recycled into valuable resources, generating income for the MCC, Justice Adi said noted.
