The southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sought a report from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) on bulk waste generators and regulation mechanisms for such entities.
Taking suo motu cognisance of bulk waste disposal issues in the State, based on an article published in The Hindu on February 4, 2024, the NGT directed the TNPCB to file a report on how they deal with the bulk waste generators (BWGs), whether BWGs have separate rules in place and if they are being followed or not.
