PTI | Rs 8,000 cr approved to remediate 1,000-plus dumping sites: Hardeep Puri

Sep 29,2022

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri Thursday said plans to remediate over 1,000 legacy dumpsites, including those in Delhi, containing 12.8 crore metric tonnes of waste, have been approved by his ministry with a total cost of over Rs 8,000 crore.

The Housing and Urban Affairs Minister said that all legacy dumpsites, having 16 crore metric tonnes of waste, and occupying around 15,000 acres of prime land, will be “remediated” in the second phase of Swachh Bharat Mission period under the 'Lakshya Zero Dumpsite Challenge'.

The minister was addressing the inaugural of 'Swachh Shehar Samvad and Tech Exhibition' which is a capacity building initiative of the SBM(U) 2.0 to equip states and cities with an understanding of all recent developments in waste management, the ministry said.
