  "summary": "Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to register numerous major government buildings, including Atal Bhawan, Vallabh Bhawan, Satpura Bhawan, and Vindhyachal Bhawan, as Bulk Waste Generators (BWG) under the new Solid Waste Management Rules. This follows Vallabh Bhawan's voluntary registration on August 13, as part of the implementation of these rules across India. The new regulations impose a waste disposal fee of Rs 2,400 per tonne for Central and State government offices, with charges varying for residential and commercial establishments. The civic body has assigned additional commissioners and officials to ensure the mandatory registration of these buildings.",
