Besides, the MC also rejected to provide tipping charges for the processing of city’s garbage.

The Jaypee Group in its petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court had submitted that the MC was not paying any tipping fee or any subsidy whereas every such plant in India was getting tipping fee.
