Waste land next to our dream homz !! Sign the petition to help us !!

NOIDA is planning to create a Municipal Solid Waste in Sector 123, which is next to a lot of major Residential Societies, such as, Gaur Grandeur, Homes 121, Eldeco Mangnolia, Amrapali Platinum and many others along with 5 primary schools.

This gonna be home for a number of disease bearing germs which can affect our families and children.

Many people have died, got diseases like cancer, asthma, birth defects, low birth rate & many more and many protests are happening across the country against landfills / waste management projects in residential areas.

Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) created Municipal Solid Waste Rules, which were first introduced in year 2000 to provide a legal framework for managing municipal waste and clearly laid guidelines to have landfills / waste management facilities to be setup at minimum 500 meters distance along with a buffer / no-development zone of 500 meters from a residential cluster.

These rules were updated later and minimum distance criteria & size of no-development buffer zone of 500 meters each was replaced with 'appropriate' distance to give autonomy to each municipal authority who have abused their autonomy to great extent.

We need to raise our voice against the authorities to give a definitive distance from residential area to avoid health hazards.

Please sign the petition to Smt. Jayanthi Natrajan, Honorable Minister of Environment & Forests, Government of India to Amend Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 2013.

We need to get 5000+ signs to get them listen. Please help us for our future, which might give benefits in your area some day too.
