Garbage rules to be followed strictly

Chennai: Do you know you could be fined heavily if you do not segregate your domestic garbage as degradable and non-degradable waste before handing it over to the civic body for disposal? However, this rule is not followed and mixed garbage gets dumped all over the city, posing serious health and environmental issues”, rued Justice P.Jyothimani, member, National Green Tribunal. There is an elaborate system prescribed to ensure that every bit of waste is treated, recycled and converted to wealth, such as manure”, said Justice Jyothimani, former judge of the Madras High Court. “The state government should frame the rules in local languages and thereafter undertake an elaborate sensitisation programme to create wide public awareness.
