The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has demanded responses from key authorities such as the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and the city government, addressing the improper management of solid and liquid waste in Sangam Vihar.

The tribunal reviewed a report noting severe sewage and waste management issues, causing health hazards for local residents. A report by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) highlighted the lack of proper waste collection points, with 40 metric tonnes of waste generated daily.

In response to these findings, the NGT has involved additional authorities, including the DDA vice-chairman and the chief engineer of the city's irrigation department, seeking their responses by December 11.
