Next legislative move: solid waste management? Sindh Assembly likely to pass law to take away waste disposal authority from municipal bodies
Karachi The Sindh Assembly is likely to adopt the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board Bill in today (Monday).
The prospective law will pave the way for establishing a centralised provincial authority for overseeing and running the solid waste management affairs of major urban centres while divesting these powers back from the municipal bodies.
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is likely to oppose the proposed bill, considering it yet another step to curtail the powers of municipal and local bodies of the province, which otherwise require autonomy in financial and administrative affairs in accordance with Article 140-A of the constitution.
