NGT Orders MCD to Disclose Waste Quantity at Singhola Dump Site
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to disclose the exact quantity of waste currently accumulated at the Singhola dump site. During an August 5 hearing, MCD reported no untreated municipal solid waste at the Narela-Bawana facility, with only Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) being processed. While MCD plans to start a silt-processing facility at Singhola by November 2026, it has yet to specify the current waste or RDF quantity there, prompting the NGT to seek updated disclosures.
