The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has directed civic officials to encourage housing societies across Mumbai to adopt composting and other environmentally sustainable practices as part of efforts to strengthen waste management at the source.

During a review visit to the D Ward office in Grant Road on Saturday, Additional Municipal Commissioner (City) Prajakta Verma-Lavangare said that while the BMC has been implementing measures to improve waste processing across the city, active participation from residential housing societies is essential to promote long-term green initiatives.
