Village Head Challenges Waste Processing Site in Court

On October 9, 2025, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sought responses from the Ghaziabad municipal corporation and other respondents after the head of Dhabarsi village filed a case against the corporation's solid waste processing site in their agricultural fields.

According to the corporation, the 21-bigha site processes around 900 metric tonnes of daily solid waste. However, the petition filed by the village head has raised concerns over the lack of environmental clearance and unhygienic conditions at the facility.

The petitioner has argued that the corporation obtained a consent to establish the site in April 2025, but it lacks details of the location and geo-coordinates. The petition also contends that the site requires environmental clearance as per government guidelines.
