Supreme Court Calls for Full Infrastructure Audit on Solid Waste Management

A Supreme Court bench comprising Justices SVN Bhatti and NV Anjaria has called for a complete audit of infrastructure related to solid waste management in India. The court expressed regret over a widespread public attitude of generating waste without taking responsibility for its impact. The bench observed that citizens generally feel entitled to produce waste but unwilling to cooperate in controlling or managing it. The remarks highlight growing judicial concern over the state of solid waste management systems and civic accountability across the country.
