After the Bombay High Court restrained the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) from issuing Intimation for Disapproval (IOD) and Commencement Certificates (CC) for new construction till it comes out with a decision on solid waste management, Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation has now come out with a rule to prevent overloading the dumping ground in Adharwadi, Kalyan — any new housing society above 2,000 square metres will have to dispose off its garbage within its own premises.

The dumping ground at Kalyan is almost full. Hence KDMC wants new housing societies to dispose off their own garbage. Pic/Satej Shinde
