The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has devised an action plan for the prevention of illegal interstate movement of solid waste from Kerala to Tamil Nadu.
Following a directive from the southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which is hearing a suo motu case against the illegal dumping of waste from Kerala near Anamalai.
The CPCB found the mismanagement of biomedical wastes generated from the households in violation against the Bio Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016.
The Kerala SPCB has been asked to ensure that all local bodies prepare a detailed inventory of the waste management system in their jurisdiction.
To strengthen the capacity of solid waste management, the CPCB has directed Kerala’s Suchitwa Mission to identify the gaps in solid waste management specifically with respect to non-recyclable wastes.
