MoHUA Approves ₹860.35 Cr for West Bengal Under SBM-U 2.0

The Ministry is collaborating closely with West Bengal to improve waste management and sanitation. Among the 118 legacy waste dumpsites in the state, only 5% of the waste has been remediated. The Dhapa landfill in Kolkata, the city's primary dumping ground since 1987, is undergoing bio-mining and bioremediation as per National Green Tribunal (NGT) guidelines, allowing the extraction of usable materials from the waste.
