The Supreme Court banned construction activities in Maharashtra and other states and Union Territories (UTs), until the framing of a Policy under the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 by them.
These states have failed to frame Solid Waste Management Rules. The direction was issued by a bench comprising Justice MB Lokur and Justice S. Abdul Nazeer reprimanded a few States and UTs for their “pathetic attitude” in having delayed the formulation of a policy until now.
The order said, “In case the States have the interest of the people in mind and cleanliness and sanitation, they should frame a Policy in terms of the Solid Waste Management Rules so that the States remain clean. The attitude of the States/Union Territories in not yet framing a Policy even after two years is pathetic, to say the least."
