Punjab and Haryana High Court Appoints Commissioner to Inspect Dadumajra Dump SitePreviousNext

The Punjab and Haryana High Court appointed Advocate Tanu Bedi as commissioner to inspect the Dadumajra dumping ground in Chandigarh and verify the Municipal Corporation's claims about waste clearance. The commissioner is to submit a report with photographs by May 29. The Municipal Corporation presented evidence of ongoing waste processing over 25 acres, including deployment of workers and machinery, and a future site plan with biogas and landfill facilities. The court questioned the long-term viability of waste processing near residential areas amid allegations of misleading affidavits since 2017.
