Dr. Harbhajan presided over the meeting and introduced each attendee, with the objective of
this forum to be a platform for BWGs, Citizen’s monitoring committee and Bulk waste

Inputs from all stakeholders were taken for the introductory meeting and it was decided to
ensure more invitees and participation from BWGs, as there was very less participation from
BWGs.
