Unsatisfied with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) reply regarding disposal of the legacy waste of 2.5 lakhs MT garbage at Uruli Devachi, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Thursday ordered the PMC commissioner to give Rs two crore bank guarantee to Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB).

A bench of justice S P Wangdi and expert member Dr Nagin Nanda also made it clear that the amount will be forfeited if the PMC fails to manage the waste at Uruli Devachi and Fursungi depot as per action plan in the next two months. Earlier on July 11, the NGT had ordered a showcause notice in this regard. PMC officials had submitted their reply on July 17.
