Failure to saperate waste led to fall in cleanliness rank of Delhi
One of the major reasons for the fall in the rankings of SDMC at the Swachh Survekshan 2019 was lack of waste segregation.
The south civic body's rank had dropped 106 positions, falling to 138 in the nationwide cleanliness survey conducted by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), this year.
The east corporation rank, meanwhile, showed improvement from 341 to 240, while the north body slipped from 206 to 282.
Of the three civic corporations in the Capital - north, east and south - only the south is financially stable.
Waste segregation into "wet" and "dry" is mandatory under the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016. It is responsibility of the Urban Local Bodies to remove crude dhalaos and replace it with fix compactors that will compress dry waste.
Under the Solid Waste Management Rules, the civic bodies must ensure that organic waste collected from homes and the nearby areas is composted, while waste in the form of plastic, metal, wood and glass are strictly recycled.
