Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

On July 10, 2018, a bench of Justices M B Lokur and Deepak Gupta referred to the recent Supreme Court order on the powers of the Delhi government and Lieutenant Governor and asked them to apprise the court on whose responsibility it is to clear the three landfills of Bhalswa, Ghazipur and Okhla.

The LG, in his reply to the SC, said the garbage disposal in the city was the job of the civic body and he was in charge of monitoring it. But, the response from the LG was not taken well by the apex court.

he Green Bench of Justices Madan B. Lokur and Deepak Gupta said householders in the National Capital hardly make effort to take time to do the simple task of segregating biodegradable waste and non-biodegradable waste like plastic covers, etc., within his own home before it is handed over to the waste collectors in their neighbourhood.
