Sep 22,2020

Chandigarh has been performing consistently well during the last 5 years in the SwachhSurvekshans (SSs), which includes Solid Waste Management (SWM) as one of the parameters. Chandigarh is also a Three Star certified city in Garbage Free City (GFC) rating protocol for cities.

To further improve the performance in SWM, various steps have been taken by Government, which inter alia includes, funding of SWM projects; issuance of directions, advisories and guidelines on SWM (door-to-door collection, source segregation and processing); organising Capacity Building (CB) workshops; reviewing performance periodically, etc.

This was informed by Minister of State (I/C) for Housing and Urban Affairs Shri Hardeep Singh Puri in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
