Telangana Adds C&D Waste Rules to BuildNow Platform
The Telangana government wants construction waste to be handled properly.
Construction and demolition waste includes leftover material from building or taking down structures.
The government is adding new waste rules to the BuildNow building-permission platform.
People applying for building permission will have to say how they will manage this waste.
Some projects will also need to submit a waste-management plan.
The goal is to stop people from dumping construction waste illegally.
The new system will be used in areas covered by GHMC, CMC, MMC and HMDA.
The article does not state when the changes will begin.
