The bench, however, repeatedly questioned the long-term viability of retaining waste-processing activity near a densely populated residential area
Manish Tewari raised the Dadumajra garbage dump issue in Lok Sabha, highlighting its health hazards for Chandigarh and surrounding Punjab areas. He demanded complete clearance, criticizing extended deadlines and accusing the Municipal Corporation of obfuscation despite claims of remediation.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court fined Chandigarh Administration and Municipal Corporation ₹25,000 each for failing to reply in a PIL about the Dadumajra garbage dump. The PIL concerns waste management, seeking remediation and accountability. The court questioned waste clearance progress, measures for affected residents, and the lack of Indore model implementation.
