“Lack of funds is no excuse for inaction. Smaller towns in every State should go and learn from Suryapet in Andhra Pradesh (Pop. 103,000) and Namakkal in Tamil Nadu (Pop. 53,000) which have both seen dustbin- free “Zero Garbage Towns” complying with the Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules since 2003 with No financial input from State or Centre, just good management and a sense of commitment.”
