Cities were awarded under the Swachh Survekshan-2018 for their work on cleaning the city but not on how to process and recycle the waste, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) said here today, on the latest cleanliness survey results released by the government.
In a statement, CSE's deputy director Chandra Bhushan said, "Majority of the top 50 cities (with population above 1 lakh) are visibly clean, but do not have appropriate systems for processing and disposal. They continue to collect waste and dump it in poorly managed landfills and dumping sites. As per the CSE analysis, most of the cities in the top 50 do not collect segregated waste at source."
