Civil Society Organisations have urged the Delhi government to reconsider its proposal to incinerate 100 per cent of the city’s waste, a statement said.
According to the statement released on Friday, the CSO had written a letter to the Delhi government to stop further expansion of Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incineration projects in the Delhi/NCR region.
It emphasised that when the Air Quality Index (AQI) falls into the “poor” category, WTE operations under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) should be suspended.
