As per the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 in India, which one of the following statements is correct?
Statement B is incorrect. The Rules apply to every urban local body, cantonment board, railway colony, every airport, every port and harbour, every special economic zone, every State and Central Government organisations, and every industrial township, and other entities generating solid waste. Their applicability is much wider than just notified urban local bodies and industrial townships.
Statement C is correct. Schedule I of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, provides detailed and elaborate criteria for the identification of sites for solid waste processing and disposal facilities (like landfills), covering aspects related to environment, land use, and social impact.
Statement D is incorrect. While the rules promote decentralization and managing waste within the urban local body, they do not impose a mandatory prohibition on the movement of waste from one district to another. Movement for regional processing facilities or specific types of waste is permitted subject to regulations and permissions.
