GHMC turns land into garbage dump yard, denies in court

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Residents of Nallagandla have sought legal intervention to save a rock garden that they allege has been turned into a dump yard by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. The GHMC officials said that there was no waste being dumped there, but then why has the Pollution Control Board issued a letter cautioning the GHMC against the unscientific me-thod of waste disposal being followed? When the officials said that the land was being used as a transfer station, for segregation of waste, the judge asked them how waste was being segregated without any dumping.” An advocate commissioner was appointed to physically examine the site and submit a report within three weeks after the judge found the arguments submitted by the counsel for the GHMC to be unsatisfactory. GHMC officials say a part of the park has been sanctioned to be developed into a dry waste resource centre.
