Hey all, municipal corporations of Delhi are happy with this move of govt.. the municipal agencies think that waste incineration is the best way to manage waste in cities like Delhi.. But environmentalists are unhappy. They say that incineration is not a suitable technology for India because the waste is not properly segregated.

Are you serious?? Separate budget for waste management... I am surprised.. But I am sure this is a really good move. It is very much needed to keep our country clean and safe from diseases spreading..

The government of India has made a budgetary provision to promote setting up of waste-to-energy (WTE) plants in this year’s budget. But many seem to be unhappy with this decision and discussions are going on about whether this move was really needed or not.

Yes Himani.. I am also surprised to hear the news. This is the first time that budget has been set aside for this reason. But anyways, waste disposal is among the important needs of people.. Though I dont know what exactly the govt will do with that much amount.
