No dumping grounds near residential areas: Govt
MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government on Thursday assured changes in town planning laws to address health concerns posed by the city's burgeoning garbage and dumping grounds.
The new development plan (DP), set to be put in place from 2014, will have designated dumping zones and assign protective buffer zones between residential areas and boundaries of dumping grounds. State urban development minister Bhaskar Jadhav, who made the announcement in the legislative council, said, "Mumbai and the Mumbai metropolitan region's (MMR) population have been increasing at a rapid pace along with the production of human and other waste. Accommodating waste in such a large quantity, that too in a scientific manner, is a challenge the government must address."
