Answer:
The scenic beauty of Himachal Pradesh notwithstanding, the state has been grappling with garbage disposal problems for many years. Nearly 304 metric tonnes of solid waste is generated in the state daily, of which 51 metric tonnes is generated in the state capital of Shimla alone. Himachal Pradesh is frequented by tourists from all over the world, resulting in even more waste generation in the state, apart from what is generated usually from the residents. The state’s only solid waste management plant in Shimla is unable to cope with the state’s entire waste output. So the state’s decision last month, to set up six waste management plants across the state is a significant one.

The High Court of Himachal Pradesh in the last week of November passed an order, directing the state government as well as the municipal authorities to look seriously into the matter of waste management in the state. The National Green Tribunal also rebuked the state government on November 1, asking it to ensure that waste was not dumped openly anywhere in the state.

We receive 170 million domestic tourists every year and over 100 million foreign tourists annually. One solid waste treatment plant to manage all the waste in the state was never going to be enough. The addition of more solid waste treatment plants will ensure waste treatment takes place on a larger scale in the state, said Tarun Kapoor, Chairman, Himachal Pradesh.
