The way water is viewed has transformed from a natural resource that was collectively managed to an economic commodity that is privately owned. The state has also tended to focus on short-term supply side problems rather than long-term integrated management. This report presents some of the processes by which this shift in governance has taken place, including the results of public hearings conducted by a Peoples Water Commission.
CAG has filed a petition against the "Draft Revised Coastal Zone Management Plan" uploaded by Department of Environment, GoTN. The documents uploaded and purported to be the Draft CZMP are not complete and have not been prepared in accordance with the CRZ Notifications, 2011, and are in contempt of the order of NGT (SZ), 2014. Therefore CAG has requested that the current Draft be withdrawn immediately, and fresh Draft prepared in accordance with the law.

The story map depicts the advocated alternative to the centralised waste management system, to address the prevailing issues in the existing system. The zero-waste model represents a holistic vision to eradicate corruption in public services and restore the balance in ecology and environment.
From brimming garbage bins to diminishing space in landfills, the city’s waste is hauled in large trucks and compactors. The current centralized waste management system not only proves to be ecologically unsustainable, but uneconomical and inefficient. The link to the story map below will take you through the journey waste traverses after it leaves our homes.
