Noida authority cracks down on societies with no waste treatment plants
NOIDA: With parking and play area already a squeeze, Noida Authority's decision to serve notices to group housing societies that generate over 100 kg of waste daily but have no on-site waste treatment plants (WTPs) has left apartment owners' associations miffed.
Under the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016, waste treatment plants are a must for group housing societies built on plots spanning 5,000 sqm or more. Earlier this month, the Authority started issuing notices to societies that continued to dump waste in the open, asking them to draw up a waste management plan or face penalties, including recovery of disposal costs. In April, Noida CEO Lokesh M had also warned about deregistering apartment owners' associations (AOAs) of societies that violated environmental norms.
AOA representatives and highrise society federations told TOI that the order was "autocratic" and failed to take into account that most group housing societies, including those in newer 7x to 10x sectors, were built or their building plans approved by Noida Authority before 2016 when designated space to hold and process a large quantity of waste within the compound wasn't the norm.
