A smart garbage mobile application will be launched to ensure effective collection and processing of non-biodegradable garbage by Haritha Karma Sena in local bodies, Minister for Local Self-Governments M.V. Govindan has said.
Keltron will develop and monitor the application. In the first phase, the app will be launched in 300 grama panchayats, six Corporations and 70 municipalities.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
