Causes and impacts of issues in Delhi’s urbanisation -
● Delhi-based environmentalist Mrinmoy Chattaraj said, "Solid waste
management is a very big issue, if Delhi master plan fails to address
it then waste will end up on roads across the city. The authorities
concerned should resort to alternative and decentralised methods of
waste treatment, reduction, recycle and use, which include
vermiculture, fossilisation and composting.
"For effective waste management, its segregation at the community and neighborhood level is imperative.
•
The waste shall be segregated and collected, in separate chambers at dalaos. For this, involvement of rag
pickers with RWAs, CBOs and NGOs is to be encouraged", said the master plan 2021.
