NOIDA: The Union ministry of environment and forests has found 'unsatisfactory' Noida Authority's action in handling disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the city. In a report submitted to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Wednesday, the ministry has observed that no scientific method has been put into place by the Authority for disposal of MSW despite guidelines put in place for the purpose.

The ministry carried out the assessment in Noida through the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Read more
