  • "We will soon set up an integrated e-waste facility within six months in Mumbai and Pune. We have sought expression of interest from the concerned parties to set up the units. We have also made some changes in the river regulation zone policy, which sets distance criteria for setting industries near the river bank," Nair Singh said.
  • Appealing to NGOs and citizens for ensuring that non-formal de-assembling units of electronic items do not come up, Nair Singh said that the e-waste must go to authorised recycler.
  • "It is a shock for our state that only 17 per cent sewage in the entire state is being treated. Only 24 per cent municipal solid waste is treated, that too partially. All other waste is either dumped or burnt which is damaging the general health. Mumbai and Pune together constitute 40 per cent of the country's e-waste," Nair Singh said.
