Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) faces criticism over missing monthly reports. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) garbage burning plan was uploaded following an order by the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The action plan outlines measures to curb open waste burning in the city. However, PMC has not submitted mandatory monthly reports required by the NGT.
The NGT directed civic bodies to monitor and report waste management. The PMC uploaded the plan on its website but missed providing updates. The civic body outlined specific steps to prevent garbage burning.
Measures include deploying staff to monitor hotspots and strict penalties for violators. Officials emphasized the importance of public awareness to reduce open burning. Despite this, PMC faces criticism by activists for failing to provide updates regularly.
Environmentalists expressed concern over PMC’s incomplete compliance with the NGT order. “Reports are vital to ensure accountability and transparency in operations,” an activist said. Experts believe the absence of reports hampers efforts to track pollution reduction.

The garbage burning issue significantly affects Pune’s air quality and public health. Unregulated waste burning releases harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. Environmental experts urged PMC to implement the action plan effectively and report its outcomes.
Citizens requested more community involvement to address the waste management crisis.
The NGT will likely review PMC’s actions in its next hearing. As the city grapples with pollution, timely execution of plans is crucial. Residents and activists hope PMC will prioritize environmental concerns moving forward.
