For Dwarka residents, sanitation has been a pending concern. Efforts and false starts notwithstanding, South Delhi Municipal Corporation has been unable to streamline the waste management system in the sub-city. But now the civic agency will implement its first 'zero waste' project in Delhi. The waste generated in Dwarka will be managed in a way that none is dumped at the landfill. Two waste management sites, measuring four acres each, have been procured by the corporation in sectors 24 and 29 from Delhi Development Authority. At Sector 24, the civic agency will set up a green waste processing unit and a crematorium for small animals. A dry waste segregation facility will be built at Sector 29.
