Chandigarh's old housing societies seek relief from waste processing mandate
Chandigarh's oldest cooperative housing societies are challenging the municipal corporation's mandate to install on-site waste-processing facilities under the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, citing space constraints. Residents argue that their complexes, built decades ago, were not designed for such infrastructure and have requested a separate compliance framework for older societies. They emphasize that they support waste segregation but cannot accommodate the required facilities due to the existing layout of their properties.
