How to save Delhi from turning waste capital? Indore says...

India Today  

India has 42 of the 50 most polluted cities in the worlda stark failure of municipal governance, India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant has said at the Anil Agarwal Dialogue 2025, an event organised by the Centre for Science and Environment in Rajasthan. “Segregation is the single-biggest factor that can save Delhi or any other city from turning into a dump-yard,” Atin Biswas, programme director for solid waste management and circular economy at CSE, told INDIA TODAY on the sidelines of the Anil Agarwal Dialogue 2025. However, if both wet and dry waste get mixed, which happens in most households today, half the battle is already lost, said Biswas. Kant, in his address, said Indian cities such as Indore, Surat and Ambikapur had created efficient models around solid waste management, and there was no reason why other cities couldn’t follow suit. Elaborating on this, Biswas shared how Indore came to be India’s cleanest city due to its solid waste management practices.
