The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday wondered how the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is claiming that it has implemented some of the mandate of Sold Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016, when SWM plan is not yet prepared. While observing that that prima facie there is hardly any implementation of the SWM Rules, 2016, the Court gave a last change to the State government, the BBMP, and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) to comply with various directions issued by the Court for implementing the SWM Rules. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj issued the directions while hearing a batch of PIL petitions filed since 2012 on city’s garbage problem.
