No solution in sight till 2027 to treat solid waste in Delhi: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India has highlighted the lack of progress in managing Delhi’s solid waste problem, despite repeated orders and proposals. The Court expressed frustration over the ineffectiveness of various plans and the absence of a concrete solution by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The Court emphasized the need for immediate action and asked the MCD to present a feasible plan by 2027 to address the waste management crisis. The issue reflects broader concerns about environmental management and urban planning in the capital city, which continues to struggle with waste disposal and pollution.
