The much talked-about Rs 435.57 lakh solid waste management scheme (SWMS) launched in the city following Supreme Court directives has failed to make any headway due to lack of coordination among various departments responsible for executing it. Though the Haryana Urban Development Department has taken some steps to implement this scheme, certain loopholes remain to be plugged. A number of requests by the local Municipal Council for permission to appoint drivers for dumpers have evoked no response from the Urban Development Department. As a result, a number of dumpers and three wheelers for collection and disposal of waste have been lying unused for the past couple of months.
