A bench headed by Justice Jawad Rahim issued notices to the Ministry of Urban Development, the Yogi Adityanath government, Noida authority and others while seeking their replies before September 14. The tribunal was hearing a plea filed by Noida resident Abhisht Kusum Gupta seeking action against increasing heap of open garbage dump at Sector 138-140. We have taken our complaints to the Noida authority but no solution has come forth on this,” the plea alleged. The garbage dump in the region was created as a temporary garbage dump by the Noida authority two years ago, the plea said. Noida alone generates close to 700 metric tons of solid waste on a daily basis.
