(garbage dumps).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They (MCDs) cannot go on cleaning and you (citizens) go on throwing,&#8221; the bench said, adding &#8220;if you implement roster system, lot of things will change&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The court has been monitoring the issue of garbage removal and disposal from the city after it was told that lack of cleanliness also lead to spread of vector-borne diseases like dengue.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of vector-borne diseases was raised before the court in two PILs filed by lawyers Arpit Bhargava and Gauri Grover who have sought directions to the municipal bodies and other authorities to take steps to prevent spread of dengue, chikungunya and malaria.<\/p>\n<p>The bench was today told that Bhargava was presently suffering from chikungunya and hence, could not come to court.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the panel set up by the court today told the bench that the issue of waste disposal can be addressed only if garbage is considered as a &#8220;resource&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The panel also said that to use garbage as a resource, the first thing to be done was ensure segregation at source for which people have to be educated and a system needs to be put in place to process the segregated waste without mixing it up.<\/p>\n<p>It told the court that for processing the segregated waste, land is required.<\/p>\n<p>To this, the bench asked the panel to identify how much land and where it was required and thereafter, the court would pass appropriate orders.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
