Shimla generates nearly 60 to 70 metric tons of solid municipal waste every day. It has no plan to deal with the disposal of such waste,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The eight-member expert committee includes a senior officer from National Disaster Management Authority one who is familiar with Himalayan areas and earthquake studies or disasters, senior scientists from Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun, and ecological expert from GB Pant Institute, Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>Among other members in the committee are Chief Town Planner Shimla and or senior Architect (Planner) from Public Works Department, a senior scientist from Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and a professor from School of Planning and Architect, New Delhi, senior scientist from the Institute of Himalaya Forest Research Institute.<\/p>\n<p>It said that Additional Chief Secretary (Environment) of Himachal Pradesh shall be the nodal officer and shall ensure the compliance of the tribunal&#8217;s order.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is increasing air pollution in Shimla, of course it has not reached the standards violating the prescribed parameters.
