The NGT directed the DPCC and Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (DSIDC) to submit a complete plan regarding the establishment of a hazardous waste disposal unit in Bawana and Narela. The NGT, while noting that it was “surprising that nobody is present on behalf of DSIIDC”, issued notice to the managing director of DSIIDC and directed him to be personally present on next date of hearing with all the details. The counsel, appearing for the North municipal corporation, informed the tribunal that a meeting was held on March 12 in which the corporation has decided to hand over 14 acres of land for setting up hazardous waste plant in Bawana and Narela. Earlier, the bench had directed the chief secretary of Delhi to hold the meeting along with vice-chairman of DDA, commissioners of North municipal corporation and others to identify the site for dumping of hazardous waste. In its previous order, it had noted that it was a “matter of not only concern but of a great surprise” that the capital city of our country does not even have the Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility for hazardous waste”. The tribunal was hearing a plea of one Balam Singh Rawat, who had challenged the setting up of a hazardous waste disposal unit in Mundka village in West Delhi allegedly without environment clearance.
